Title: Methods and devices associated with improvements in or relating to hybrid automatic repeat requests in new radio
Inventor: EFSTATHIOS KATRANARAS
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2017-08-04
Abstract: A method for enabling access to services provided by a Radio Access Network between first and second wireless communications devices, the method comprising: wherein a HARQ-ACK feedback is generated at the second wireless communication device based on resources pre-empted during the transmission of a transport block from the first wireless communications device so that the second wireless communication device can monitor for pre-empted resources. The arrangement may involve URLLC resources pre-empting eMBB resources in a 5G/New Radio network e.g. downlink from gnB to UE. The HARQ-ACK signal may be a multi-bit signal based on code blocks (CB) or code-block groups (CBG). The feedback may comprise multi-bits for each CBG that is partially punctured, fully punctured or not punctured. Common knowledge between the first and second wireless communications devices (e.g. gnB and UE) may be taken into account based on pre-emption notification information. Bursty interference may also be reported. A particular embodiment is a pre-emption aware HARQ-ACK signal comprising 11 when the whole CBG is ACK, 00 when the whole CBG is NACK, 01 when only punctured CBs are NACK and 10 when either only non-punctured CBs are NACK or bursty interfered CBs are NACK.

Inventor: WILLIAM JOHN GULLAND
IPC: G06N3/10
Filed: 2018-02-14
Abstract: Implementing neural networks in fixed point arithmetic computing systems by converting them from floating point to fixed point representation. For each node of each layer of the neural network, determining a respective scaling value for the node from the respective set of floating point weight values for the node, and converting each floating point weight value of the node into a corresponding fixed point weight value using the respective scaling value for the node to generate a set of fixed point weight values for the node. Associated nodes may be taken into account during the determining of the scaling multiplier, the ratio of which may be calculated by determining the largest required floating point number for the network representation and setting it as equivalent to the largest fixed point number the computer processor can handle. Outputs in fixed point format may be converted back to floating point, potentially by a division operation entailing division of the output by the scaling value associated with the output node.

Title: Memristor-based circuit and method
Inventor: ABUSALEH MUHAMMAD JABIR
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 2019-04-16
Abstract: A memristor-based circuit is described in which a voltage generator 10 is arranged to apply a series of voltage pulses, which may be controlled by a clock input 12, to a memristor MD to progressively change the resistance of the memristor. A comparator 14 is arranged to receive an input electrical value 16 and an electrical value based on the resistance of the memristor, e.g. from a connection between the memristor MD and a resistor RDL. Based on the comparison, the comparator enables the application of the voltage pulses to the memristor by the voltage generator until a defined condition is satisfied. This circuit can be used to enable the memristor to be programmed to a desired resistance value, such as for use as a non-volatile memory. It can also enable the resistance of one memristor (MS, fig.3) to be replicated in another memristor (MD, fig.3). By counting the number of applied voltage pulses (e.g. by means of counter 20, fig.4), the circuit can be used as an encoder or analogue-to-digital converter. The circuit can also be used in a decoder or digital-to-analogue converter (fig.5), and in an authentication circuit, and in applications providing security and preventing physical cloning.
