Title: Improvements in and relating to network operation
Inventor: SHANGBIN WU
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2016-12-22
Abstract: User equipment 100, which is in communication with a serving cell 110 and a number of non-serving cells 120 130, sends an indicator to the serving cell from which it may determine which of the non-serving cells are operable in coherent joint transmission JT or non-coherent joint transmission NCJT mode. This feedback allows the serving cell to coordinate the other cells to ensure that the optimal mixture of the two modes is used in any given scenario. The cells operating in JT mode may have a different allocation of physical resource blocks PRBs to those operating in NCJT mode. The UE may determine the indicator based on the channel state information CSI obtained from reference signal CSI-RS sources. The indicator may be generated through spatial or temporal correlation processes, where the former correlates between different antenna ports, and the latter correlates a given antenna port between different time instants.

Inventor: Jonathan Randall
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2017-01-09
Abstract: A system 100 for a vehicle 16 alerts a user that they have left their mobile device 14 inside the vehicle. After receiving indication that a journey has ended, the system receives movement data for the device over a communication network, and if it system determines from this data that the device has been left in the vehicle, it notifies the user. The communication network may be a cellular network such as 3G or 4G. The mobile device may be associated with the vehicle using an app, and the system may determine during a journey that the device is in the vehicle. After the journey has ended, the system may transmit GPS location data to a remote computer system which has also received location data for the mobile device. The system determines that the device has not been removed from the vehicle if the two locations are substantially the same. The user may be notified using the lights 110 or horn of the vehicle or via the key fob.

Inventor: Steven R El Aile
IPC: B62D1/28
Filed: 2018-02-05
Abstract: A computer detects a request to steer a host vehicle and a current steering angle of the host vehicle (step 210). The computer sends a notification to select one of a first non-autonomous steering mode (for example moving a steering wheel) and a second non-autonomous steering mode, for example using a virtual steering wheel on a touch screen (step 220), and detects a selection of one of the first and second non-autonomous steering modes (step 225). The host vehicle is then steered according to the selected mode and signals received from a user device. Typically, if the current steering angle is unavailable (step 215), the vehicle continues to steer in an autonomous or semi-autonomous steering mode.

Title: Computing circuitry
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H02M1/14
Filed: 2019-07-11
Abstract: Neuromorphic computing circuitry 200 for artificial-neural-networks edge devices comprises analogue computation unit 210 supplied with a first voltage (VCOMP) from voltage regulator 220 for processing data. Regulator 220 cyclically regulates the first voltage through switching between phases in a sequence of phases. Controller 230 operates the voltage regulator and/or the analogue computation unit, such that unit 210 processes data during compute periods that avoid times at which the voltage regulator undergoes a phase transition. Not performing computation operations during phase-transitions of the voltage regulator avoids transients or disturbances in the first voltage, e.g. ripples, which adversely affect the computing. Computations may be suspended at predefined phase transitions and started or ended during phases of the regulator. Phase transitions may be suspended to allow computations to complete. Voltage regulator 220 comprises DC-DC converters, charge pumps, buck or boost converters. The analogue circuit multiplies data and weight values and may include memristors.
