Abstract: A method and a system of hybrid data-and-model-driven hierarchical network reconfiguration are provided. Taking into account that the optimal operation structure of the power grid may change after a new energy is connected into the power grid in the distribution manner, this method combines the mathematical model of network reconfiguration and clustering with the deep learning model, and uses data recorded by the smart meter, to reconfigure the network in a hybrid data-and-model driving mode. This method proposes a network compression method and a hierarchical decompression method based on deep learning, and improves the efficiency of network reconfiguration by the way of distributed calculation and combination of on-line and off-line calculation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless systems, a base station may configure a user equipment (UE) for random access (RACH) message transmission in dedicated RACH resources during, for example, a handover process. The contention-free random access (CFRA) resources may allow the UE to transmit RACH messages at a higher transmission power than contention-based random access (CBRA) resources. The base station may indicate, to the UE, RACH transmission parameters for CFRA that are different than parameters for CBRA. These parameters may include configuration information, frequency division multiplexing information, RACH retransmission parameters, target received power, response window length, etc. The UE may use the indicated RACH transmission parameters to transmit a RACH message to the base station. The base station may respond with a RACH response message, and the base station and UE may synchronize upon completion of the RACH procedure.
