  • Patent number: 12015954
    Abstract: Systems and methods for causing control information to be sent from a source base station to a target base station via a user plane is provided. In a network that uses control plane and user plane separation, the systems and methods provided herein reduce time delays between handovers in the control plane and handovers in the user plane. The time delays are reduced by minimizing a duration of the handover preparation phase by sending control information with payload packets between network functions via in-band signaling in the user plane.

  • Patent number: 12013119
    Abstract: A method and an assembly for controlling an internal combustion engine having multiple burners is provided. Combustion measurement data is collected in a burner-specific manner for each burner and assigned to a burner identification identifying the respective burner. Performance measurement data of the internal combustion engine is also collected and used to determine a performance value. A machine learning model is trained by means of the combustion measurement data, the associated burner identifications and the performance measurement data, to generate burner-specific control data which optimizes the performance value when the burners are actuated in a burner-specific manner using the control data. The control data generated by the trained machine learning model is output for the burner-specific actuation of the burners.
