| 1st Invent: | Doron Rajwan (Rishon LeZion, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques are disclosed relating to selective rate limiting and reducing clock frequency of fabric circuitry in response to certain power management events. Disclosed techniques may advantageously allow power management circuitry to reduce or avoid negative impacts of power events by reducing the clock frequency of a communication fabric while using rate limiting of relatively lower-priority traffic to reduce impacts of the frequency reduction on high-priority traffic. For example, rate limiting of lower-quality-of-service virtual channels may continue after recovery of the clock frequency until higher-quality-of-service virtual channels have recovered from the frequency reduction. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Disclosed techniques relate to branch prediction and trace caching. A processor may include both an instruction cache and a trace cache configured to store instructions. A branch predictor may include one or more prediction tables (e.g., tagged geometric length (TAGE) tables) configured to predict directions of conditional control transfer instructions. Rather than including a separate branch predictor for branches in the trace cache, the processor may share the prediction table(s) for instruction cache and trace cache predictions. In particular, the processor may include an additional trace prediction lane configured to access the prediction table to predict a direction of a final control transfer instruction in a trace cached by the trace cache circuitry. This may advantageously provide accurate predictions with limited impacts to circuit area and power consumption, e.g., relative to a separate predictor for the trace cache. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods and systems are disclosed for a UE to manage and measure intra-cell cross link interference (CLI) when served by a base station operating in full-duplex FDD. The signaling may indicate to a victim UE resources to measure to determine the level of CLI from aggressor UEs. The resources used for the CLI measurement may be resources not scheduled by the base station for use by the victim UE for downlink reception, but are scheduled for use by the aggressor UEs for transmitting uplink traffic or for transmitting reference signals used to characterize the uplink channel. The victim UE may report the CLI measurements to the base station for the base station to adjust scheduling of downlink resources to the victim UE. In one aspect, the signaling from the base station may indicate to the victim UE the locations of scheduled downlink symbols that may potentially be impacted by CLI. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Hand tracking techniques are used to initiate actions at a computer even if a hand is occupied. Image data is received of a scene that includes a hand. A determination is mate whether the hand is occupied by a physical object. If the hand is occupied by a physical object, then the hand is monitored for a modified gesture based on the physical object. Some objects may be pre-registered and associated with object-specific actions for various gestures. When a user is within a predetermined distance of a registered object, a system monitors a user''s hands for a gesture, and then triggers an action based on the gesture and the object. |
