Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for variable precision first in, first out (FIFO) buffers (VPFB) that dynamically changes the amount of data to be stored in the VPFB based on a current amount of data stored in the VPFB and/or based on a current amount of available memory space of the VPFB. The currently unavailable memory space (or the current available memory space) is used to select the size of a next data block to be stored in the VPFB. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.
Claims7
Communication circuitry comprising:
- radiofrequency (RF) circuitry coupled to an antenna array;
- and
- baseband circuitry communicatively coupled with the RF circuitry, wherein the baseband circuitry is operable to:
- obtain a quantized data sample;
- determine an occupancy of a first in first out (FIFO) buffer;
- select a first quantization precision of the quantized data sample to be stored in the FIFO buffer based on a first occupancy of the FIFO buffer;
- select a second quantization precision of the quantized data sample based on the occupancy of the FIFO buffer being greater than the first occupancy;
- if the first quantization precision is selected, then store the quantized data sample in the FIFO buffer;
- and
- if the second quantization precision is selected, then:
- store a selected number of bits of the quantized data sample in the FIFO buffer;
- and
- discard a remaining number of bits of the quantized data sample that are not the selected number of bits.
