A host device is managed that communicates with a peripheral device via an interface on the basis of a high frequency clock; the host device is in a suspended state in which the high frequency clock is deactivated. At the host device, an activation state of the peripheral device is detected ( 21 ) on the interface. Then the duration of a period of time (T 1 ) since the detection of the activation state is counted, on the basis of a low frequency clock. Then this activation state is maintained on the interface ( 23 ) by means of hardware before the period of time expires.

Decentralized Sleep Management

Номер: US20120117404A1
Автор: Carlos Garcia Jurado Suarez, Jacob R. Lorch, Jitendra D. Padhye, Richard L. Hughes, Siddhartha Sen
Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

Techniques for employing a decentralized sleep management service are described herein. In some instances, each computing device of a group of computing devices periodically shares information about itself with each other computing device of the group. With this information, each computing device within the group that is awake and capable of managing other devices selects a subset of devices to probe. The devices then probe this subset to determine whether the probed devices are asleep. In response to identifying a sleeping device, the probing device takes over management of the sleeping device. Managing the sleeping device involves informing other devices of the group that the sleeping device is being managed, in addition to monitoring requests for services on the sleeping device. In response to receiving a valid request for a service hosted by the sleeping device, the managing device awakens the sleeping device and ceases managing the now-woken device.

Methods and devices for reducing power consumption in a multi-processor computing device include filtering indications from the second processor intended for the first processor while the first processor is in a low power state, so that only selected, such as significant, indications are transmitted. The second processor may be informed when the first processor is in a low power state. Indications generated by the second processor may be compared to indication filtering criteria to determine whether each should be transmitted to the first processor. Those indications satisfying the indication filtering criteria may be sent to the first processor, causing it to return to a normal power state. In mobile computing device the first processor may be an applications processor and the second processor may be a modem. Filtering of indications may be accomplished in the second processor or in a power controller in some implementations.

Multiple data permutation operations in respective different dimensions are used to provide an overall effective data permutation using smaller blocks of data in each permutation than would be used in directly implementing the overall permutation in a single permutation operation. Data that has been permuted in one permutation operation is block interleaved, and the interleaved data is then permuted in a subsequent permutation operation. A matrix transpose is one example of block interleaving that could be applied between permutation operations.

A sleep state synchronization method between docked terminals and docking system using the same is disclosed. The state synchronization method between docked terminals includes determining whether or not a first terminal is docked on a second terminal, turning off signal transmitted to a TMDS data line when it is determined that the first terminal is not docked on the second terminal, and the entering by the second terminal into sleep mode. Accordingly, the docked terminals are able to enter into sleep mode together, enabling interlocked operations of the docked terminals instead of operating independently, which would prevent confusion to users when using the docked terminals. In addition, by the aforementioned method, it is unnecessary to make settings for each docked terminal separately, and it is possible to enter into sleep mode easily using TMDS signal of a HDMI interface without going through complex algorithms.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for coding with constrained interleaving

Номер: US20150039964A1
Автор: Dowling Eric Morgan, Fonseka John P.
Принадлежит:

Serially-concatenated codes are formed in accordance with the present invention using a constrained interleaver. The constrained interleaver cause the minimum distance of the serial concatenated code to increase above the minimum distance of the inner code alone by adding a constraint that forces some or all of the distance of the outer code onto the serially-concatenated code. This allows the serially-concatenated code to be jointly optimized in terms of both minimum distance and error coefficient to provide significant performance advantages. Constrained interleaving can be summarized in that it: 1) uses an outer code that is a block code or a non-recursive convolutional code, and as such, there are multiple codewords present in the constrained interleaver, 2) selects a desired MHD, 3) selects an interleaver size and a set of predefined interleaver constraints to prevent undesired (low-distance) error events so as to achieve the desired MHD, and 4) performs uniform interleaving among the allowable (non-constrained) positions, to thereby maximize or otherwise improve the interleaver gain subject to the constraints imposed to maintain the desired MHD. 117-.

Users can control the disclosure of their identities with respect to certain types of shared content. In one mode of operation, a user can share content anonymously. In another mode of operation, identity may be revealed when certain conditions are met or revealed to only certain other users. For example, the identity of a user who shared a comment anonymously may be revealed if multiple other users agree with that comment. In another mode of operation, the user's identity is revealed to all other users such as in a live video stream. The computing system can control display of users' identities based on user instructions or based on triggering conditions.

The receiver circuit is configured for receiving, at each clock cycle of a number of clock cycles of the communication system, a bit lane of data on a data bus, each bit lane including Q valid bits of an interleaved packet of length E. The receiver circuit is configured for placing, at each clock cycle, each of the Q valid bits into a respective bin of Q bins each having a bin width equal to the register width B. The receiver circuit is configured for determining that the bins are full, and in response to determining that the bins are full, transferring the contents of the bins into the registers. 1. A method for de-interleaving data in a communication system , the method comprising:receiving, at each clock cycle of a plurality of clock cycles of the communication system, a bit lane of data on a data bus, each bit lane including Q valid bits of an interleaved packet of length E;placing, at each clock cycle, each of the Q valid bits into a respective bin of Q bins each having a bin width B;determining that the bins are full, and in response to determining that the bins are full, transferring contents of the bins into Q registers each having a register width B; andrepeatedly receiving and placing data bits from the bit lanes into the bins and transferring the contents of the bins to the registers until at least E valid bits have been transferred to the registers.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the bins are full includes determining that each bin includes B valid bits of the interleaved packet.3. The method of claim 1 , comprising claim 1 , after transferring the contents of the bins into the registers claim 1 , storing the contents of the registers into Q segments of a memory area claim 1 , each segment being sized to store E/Q bits.4. The method of claim 3 , comprising reading a de-interleaved packet from the Q segments of the memory area.5. The ...
