Publication number: 20240114539Abstract: A base station is disclosed, which is capable of appropriately configuring the timings of data assignment, data transmission and reception, and feedback for a case where the DL and UL sTTI lengths are different from each other. In this base station (100), a transmission section (106) transmits a downlink signal using a first short transmission time interval (sTTI) shortened in length than a TTI and used for downlink; and a reception section (107) receives an uplink signal using a second sTTI shortened in length than the TTI and used for uplink. When the first sTTI is shorter in length than the second sTTI, the reception section (107) receives the uplink signal in the second sTTI positioned after a predetermined interval from the transmission timing of the downlink signal, the predetermined interval being configured based on the length of the first sTTI.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Ayako HORIUCHI, Lilei WANG, Alexander GOLITSCHEK EDLER VON ELBWART, Masayuki HOSHINO

Patent number: 11416555Abstract: A data structuring device 1 includes an acquisition unit 2 and a modeling unit 3. The acquisition unit 2 acquires branch expression data. Branch expression data is data that includes a branch expression, which is an utterance expression in a conversation for which multiple mutually different replies can be assumed. The conversation data is converted to a graph structure in which the content of the conversation is divided into multiple nodes, and the multiple nodes are connected by means of edges. On the basis of the branch expression data obtained by the acquisition unit 2, the modeling unit 3 carries out a process on the multiple items of conversation data in the graph structure in which nodes that share a common branch expression are combined in one node, thereby modeling the multiple items of conversation data in one tree structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Ayako Hoshino

Patent number: 11416678Abstract: An addition unit 11, with regard to data indicating a conversation history including one or more sets of sentences formed from a problem sentence being a sentence indicating one problem, a question sentence being a sentence indicating a question for the one problem, and an answer sentence being a sentence indicating an answer to the question, adds a label indicating a problem state to the problem sentence within the data, a label indicating a question state to the question sentence within the data, and a label indicating an answer state to the answer sentence within the data. An extraction unit 12 extracts, from the data, a set of sentences with which the states indicated by the labels have been associated according to a state transition model that is a model configured from the one problem state, question state, and answer state, and that represents a transition of the states.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Ayako Hoshino
