An memory module including parallel data compression and decompression engines for improved performance. The memory module includes MemoryF/X Technology. To improve latency and reduce performance degradations normally associated with compression and decompression techniques, the MemoryF/X Technology encompasses multiple novel techniques such as: 1) parallel lossless compression/decompression; 2) selectable compression modes such as lossless, lossy or no compression; 3) priority compression mode; 4) data cache techniques; 5) variable compression block sizes; 6) compression reordering; and 7) unique address translation, attribute, and address caches. The parallel compression and decompression algorithm allows high-speed parallel compression and high-speed parallel decompression operation. The memory module-integrated data compression and decompression capabilities remove system bottlenecks and increase performance. This allows lower cost systems due to smaller data storage, reduced bandwidth requirements, reduced power and noise.

The invention discloses a state conversion method, and a state keeping method and device, and belongs to the technical field of communications. The method comprises the following steps: when user equipment is under an unactivated state and satisfies a first predetermined condition, converting the user equipment into an idle state from the unactivated state; when the user equipment is under the unactivated state and satisfies a second predetermined condition, keeping the user equipment under the unactivated state; and when the user equipment is under the unactivated state and satisfies a third predetermined condition, converting the user equipment into a connected state from the unactivated state, wherein the unactivated state is an intermediate state between the connected state and the idle state.

The proposal for eliminating inter-cell interference based on cooperation with the prior base station has problems such as resources occupation and Backhaul load increment. The invention provides a multi-base station cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with low information interaction in a wireless network and a scheduling method and a device thereof. The scheduling method comprises: a base station acquires information relevant to signal quality between the base station and each mobile terminal and reports to a scheduling apparatus, wherein the reported signal quality relevant information is preferably a relative signal strength indicator (RSSI) or a channel quality indicator (CQI) with small data size; the scheduling apparatus selects a service base station for each mobile terminal and determines a specific base station to eliminate the interference from a specific mobile terminal; and the scheduling apparatus further controls to correspondingly transmit service data of the mobile terminal to the service base station; the base station determines the serviced terminal and the terminal of which the interference is eliminated. When servicing the mobile terminal on a time-frequency resource and eliminating the interference from other base stations, the base station only needs to acquire channel state information of the mobile terminal associated with the base station to the base station on the corresponding time-frequency resource and calculate a pre-coded matrix, so as to pre-code mobile terminal service data from the service base station and generate downlink signals to be transmitted; and the process is independently carried out in various base stations.
