Title: Method for limiting transmission of in-device co-existence indications in wireless communication system
Inventor: LEE JAE WOOK
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2013-03-15
Abstract: A method is provided in which a user equipment (UE) receives a configuration message including information on an in-device co-existence (IDC) indication from the base station. The UE determines whether or not to transmit an IDC indication message based on the received information, and transmits the IDC indication message to the base station if it is determined that it should do so. The information may comprise an activation bit. The configuration message may be received via dedicated signalling, and may include FDM/TDM preference configuration. If FDM is available, the IDC indication message may include unusable frequencies and candidate cell information. If TDM is available, it may include a desired pattern for a discontinuous reception (DRX) bitmap. The indication message may include a proximity-like indication, informing the base station of the turn-on of co-existing technology within the UE, and it may further include the preference of the UE between an FDM or TDM solution, and/or potential unusable frequencies where interference from co-existing technologies may be expected. The proximity-like indication may be included if the co-existing technology is switched on, or if an application of the technology becomes active. The method reduces unnecessary transmissions of IDC indication messages, thus improving efficiency. Fig. 7

IPC: H01L27/02
Filed: 2012-01-20
Abstract: Device structures with a reduced junction area in an SOI process, methods of making the device structures, and design structures for a lateral diode (56). The device structure includes one or more dielectric regions (20a, 20b, 20c), such as STI regions, positioned in the device region (18) and intersecting the p-n junction (52, 54) between an anode (40, 42) and cathode (28, 30, 48a, 48b, 49a, 49b, 50a, 50b). The dielectric regions, which may be formed using shallow trench isolation techniques, function to reduce the width of a p-n junction with respect to the width area of the cathode at a location spaced laterally from the p-n junction and the anode. The width difference and presence of the dielectric regions creates an asymmetrical diode structure. The volume of the device region occupied by the dielectric regions is minimized to preserve the volume of the cathode and anode.

Title: Mechanism for group polling without precise timing
Inventor: MALKAWI MOHAMMAD
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2013-11-21
Abstract: In a wireless communication network, such as an IEEE 802.11 WiFi network, the polling overhead is reduced by polling several stations using the same polling frame. In order to be able to poll more than one station in the same frame, an access point can make use of the locations of stations relative to the access point. The location / distance of each station relative to the access point will cause a different propagation delay for radio communications between the station and the access point. Based on the propagation delays, two or more stations may be grouped together for subsequent transmissions to the access point if the difference in respective propagation delay between two or more stations is large enough so that data transmission from one station will be completely received at the access point before beginning receipt of data transmission from another station. In another embodiment, the scheduler of the access point may use a group poll frame where several stations are specified in the same frame and each station computes the exact time at which it must begin transmission.

Title: Method and apparatus for syntax element encoding in video coding and decoding
Inventor: LAROCHE GUILLAUME
IPC: H04N19/93
Filed: 2013-12-18
Abstract: Determining a parameter for an entropic code used to encode a set of indices 91 associated to a block of pixels of an image. The indices are determined from a colour palette in a palette coding mode. The entropic code parameter is determined using another parameter used in the encoding process. Preferably the entropic code is a Golomb type code its parameter is the Golomb order. Preferably the indices are predictively encoded as a prediction mode and a repetition value 92, and the repetition value or run length is encoded using the Golomb code. The order may be determined by the prediction mode of the index, the index value, the palette size or the coding unit size. The entropic code may alternatively be a Huffman code. An independent claim is included for a method in which an entropic code is used to encode indices and the parameter of the entropic code is set to be zero. A further independent claim is for a palette encoding mode in which the palette indexes are ordered by frequency of occurrence and repetition elements are not encoded for indices above a threshold. In the embodiment, videos are encoded according to HEVC RExt range extension.
