A block alterable memory cell has a select control gate extending from a floating gate region to a drain region. The heat dissipating device may be thermally coupled to the heat generating device, the thermal interface material disposed between the bottom surface of the heat dissipating device and the backside surface of the heat generating device. A base station includes a communication protocol module grouping a data for transmission in a plurality of data subsets, in which the data for transmission comprises a plurality of information bits, encoding the data subsets, modulating the data subsets, and transmitting the data subsets to a receiving device.
