Disclosed in various embodiments of the present invention are an electronic device for controlling a clock frequency and an operating method therefor. The electronic device comprises a communication module and a processor, wherein the processor can be configured to check, by using the communication module, a state of a downlink channel of a carrier to be transmitted, determine, on the basis of the channel state, a reference frequency band for a signal to be transmitted through the communication module, determine, as a first clock frequency, a clock frequency for at least one constituent element included in the electronic device if the reference frequency band is a first reference frequency band, and determine, as a second clock frequency, a clock frequency for at least one constituent element included in the electronic device if the reference frequency band is a second reference frequency band. Other embodiments are also possible.

Techniques performed by a User Equipment (UE) are provided for fast timing acquisition for Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles. The UE determines one or more System Frame Number (SFN) hypotheses. Each of the one or more SFN hypothesis can represent a possible SFN at which the UE can wake up from a sleep state of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle. For at least one of the one or more SFN hypotheses, the UE generates a detection metric based at least partially on a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) sequence received from a base station, and determines, based on a value of the detection metric, whether the at least one SFN hypothesis represents a current SFN in accordance with a clock source used the base station for communicating with the UE. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for implementing scalable power in a wireless device. Multiple radio access technology architectures running different operating clock frequencies are supported by providing a scaled static clock frequency and dynamic clock frequencies by dynamically switching parallel paths of processing resources.

The present disclosure relates to the field of shared bicycles, and particularly relates to a heartbeat control system for shared bicycles. The heartbeat control system may include a server configured to divide an area that includes the shared bicycles into a plurality of parking zones based on a virtual map and determine an off-peak period and a peak period of each of the plurality of parking zones, and a lock control device mounted on one of the shared bicycles. The lock control device may include a network module that is periodically actuated by the lock control device. The lock control device may be configured to obtain, based on a parking zone of the shared bicycle, an off-peak period and a peak period corresponding to the parking zone, and extend an actuation frequency during the off-peak period.

A method (10) is provided for providing location information of a group of mobile devices (20A-20C) of a wireless network (21-23) to a network node (40) of the wireless network (21-23), the method (10) comprising: repetitively transmitting, by at least one mobile device (20A-20C) of the group of mobile devices (20A-20C), a location information (11, 11 A) of the respective mobile device (20A-20C) at a respective reporting frequency (f.sub.A-f.sub.C), which depends on an energy balance of the respective mobile device (20A-20C). A corresponding method (30) of operating a network node (40), a mobile device (20A-20C) and a network node (40) are also provided.

A motorized window treatment for controlling the amount of daylight entering a space through a window includes a covering material, a drive shaft, and a motor coupled to the drive shaft for raising and lowering the covering material. The window treatment also includes a spring assist unit for assisting the motor by providing a torque that equals the torque provided by the weight on the cords that lift the covering material at a position midway between fully-open and fully-closed positions to minimize motor usage and conserve battery life. The window treatment may comprise a photosensor for measuring the amount of daylight outside the window and temperature sensors for measuring the temperatures inside and outside of the window. The position of the covering material may be automatically controlled in response to the photosensor and the temperature sensors, or in response to an infrared or radio-frequency remote control.

A first die is communicatively coupled to a first isolation communication channel and a second isolation communication channel and configured to send a first heartbeat signal over the first isolation communication channel. A second die is coupled to receive the first heartbeat signal from the first die over the first isolation communication channel and to supply a second heartbeat signal to the second isolation communication channel. The first die enters a first die low power mode responsive to detecting an absence of the second heartbeat signal and the second die enters a second die low power mode responsive to detecting an absence of the first heartbeat signal. The first and second die use low power oscillators in the low power mode to supply the heartbeat signals.

A system includes a frequency-locked loop (FLL) circuit, a sensor-hub circuit and a processor. The FLL circuit is used to generate a low-frequency clock. The sensor-hub circuit is coupled to a number of sensors and is configured to periodically poll the sensors during polling periods and to detect sensor activities. The processor is coupled to the sensor-hub circuit and can process sensor signals from one or more active sensors. The processor is off during polling periods and is turned on when a sensor activity is detected. The polling periods are based on the low-frequency clock generated by the FLL circuit.

A motorized window treatment may provide a low-cost solution for controlling the amount of daylight entering a space through a window. The window treatment may include a covering material (e.g., a cellular shade fabric or a roller shade fabric), a drive assembly for raising and lowering the covering material, and a motor drive unit including a motor configured to drive the drive assembly to raise and lower the covering material. The motorized window treatment may comprise one or more battery packs configured to receive batteries for powering the motor drive unit. The batteries may be located out of view of a user of the motorized window treatment (e.g., in a headrail or in a battery compartment). The motorized window treatment may use various power-saving methods to lengthen the lifetime of the batteries, e.g., to reduce the motor speed to conserve additional battery power and extend the lifetime of the batteries.
