Title: Configuring power management functionality in a processor
Inventor: MALINI K BHANDARU
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2013-06-27
Abstract: A processor with multiple cores (120-a to 120-n) to independently execute instructions. The single power domain indicator indicates whether multiple cores are treated as a single power domain to operate at a common performance state. A voltage regulator independently provides a regulated voltage to cores that enables multiple cores to be an independent power domain. A power controller causes the voltage regulator to provide a different regulated voltage to the core to operate at the independent performance state. The single power domain indicator indicates whether multiple cores are treated as a single power domain to operate at a common performance state, thus reduces the amount of logic that may be present on integrated circuit devices. The processor comprises multiple cores to independently execute instructions, thus reduces the consumption of the energy by hardware, and also reduces temperature, and hence increase overall system performance with both voltage and frequency modification. The processor maybe a system on a chip with additional voltage regulators formed on a single semiconductor die to enable different domains in the cores, or processor circuitry external to the cores.

Title: Floating point to fixed point conversion
Inventor: KENNETH ROVERS
IPC: H03M7/24
Filed: 2017-03-24
Abstract: A floating point format has an exponent E of width ew, an exponent bias B = 2(ew-1) _ 1, and a mantissa M of mw bits. A fixed point format has an integer width of iw bits and a fractional width of fw bits. A shifter is used to convert the mantissa to the fixed point format. For a right shifter, the most significant bit of the mantissa is aligned with the most significant bit of the fixed point format. For a left shifter, the implicit high bit is aligned with the least significant bit of the fixed format. The shift length is determined by the k least significant bits of a shift value sv of width sw, where bitwidtℎ[min(B, iw − 1 sy) + min(B-1, fw)] ≤ k ≤ sw and sy = 1 for a signed and sy = 0 for an unsigned number. For a right shifter, the shift value is sv = ((B E) + (iw-1-sy)). For a left shifter, the shift value is sv = (E B + fw).

Title: Noise variance estimation and interference detection
Inventor: PAUL MURRIN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: In an OFDM receiver, a received OFDM symbol (1002) is divided into a plurality of bands (1003, 1004) and each band is further divided into a plurality of sub-bands (1006), each sub-band containing a plurality of sub-carriers. A sub-band power for each sub-band is calculated as the average power of all sub-carriers within the sub-band. A mean sub-band power within each band is also calculated. For each band, it is then determined as to whether there is interference in a sub-band (e.g. SB4) by comparing the sub-band power for that sub-band with the average sub-band power within the band. If interference is detected, an estimated noise variance for sub-carriers within the affected sub-band is increased, and an estimated noise variance in other sub-bands within the affected band is decreased.
