20100008295 | CANDIDATE SET MANAGEMENT IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK - Techniques for managing candidate sets for a user equipment (UE) are described. In an aspect, multiple candidate sets of cells of different classes may be maintained for the UE. Each candidate set may include cells of a particular class. As some examples, the multiple candidate sets may be for cells of different transmit power levels, cells of different association types, cells associated with different resources, etc. The multiple candidate sets may be maintained separately based on applicable criteria and rules. The multiple candidate sets may be used to select a serving cell for the UE and/or for other communication purposes for the UE. In another aspect, one or more candidate sets may be maintained for the UE and may be used for multiple communication purposes for the UE. The multiple communication purposes may include server selection, interference management, measurement reporting, etc. | 01-14-2010 |

20140192075 | Adaptive Lossy Framebuffer Compression with Controllable Error Rate - The device and method described in this application relate generally to graphics processing systems utilizing the tile based rendering technique and more specifically relate to the processing of the framebuffer data in graphics processing applications. The present invention discloses techniques to reduce the bandwidth needed to access the color data stored in the framebuffer. A method for adaptive lossy delta based compression of color data is disclosed. The error rate, that is the amount of color data lost during the lossy compression process, is controlled by various parameters of the rendered tiles produced by the graphics processing system. The compression process is driven by a dedicated unit which enables informed compression decisions with controllable error rate so as the output color data can be reliably decompressed to produce the original color data with minimal or no errors. | 07-10-2014 |
