  • Patent number: 11438768
    Abstract: A network environment includes a first station, a second station, and a communication manager. The communication manager monitors a backhaul between the first station and the second station. In one arrangement, the first station is a wireless access point providing wireless connectivity to multiple mobile communication devices. During operation, the backhaul conveys communications between the first station and the second station. Based on the monitoring, the communication manager produces a metric indicating an ability of the backhaul to convey communications. Based on the metric, the communication manager determines a split of multiple processing layers in a wireless protocol stack. To accommodate the split, the communication manager assigns a first portion of multiple network communication layers to the first station for processing and a second portion of the multiple network communication layers to the second station for processing.

  • Patent number: 11429899
    Abstract: A computer system trains a predictive model. A plurality of subsets of features are selected from a dataset comprising a plurality of cases and controls and a plurality of features. Cases and controls are matched to select a plurality of case-control subsets for each subset of features, each case-control subset having similar values for the corresponding subset of features. For each case-control subset, a statistical significance of each feature of the plurality of features absent from the subset of features used to match the case-control subset is identified. A final subset of features is selected based on satisfying a statistical significance of each feature for the plurality of case-control subsets. A predictive model is trained using the final subset of features. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for training a predictive model in substantially the same manner described above.
