  • Publication number: 20160095090
    Abstract: Systems and methods to encode and/or decode structured super-position coding to enhance control channel capacity are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). A first UE and a second UE may be coupled to the eNB. Basic PDCCH may be sent to the second UE, and extra PDCCH may be sent to the first UE on the same time-frequency resource. The second UE may be able to decode the basic PDCCH as it normally does. The first UE may be able to decode the basic PDCCH for the second UE, cancel the basic PDCCH from the signal, and decode the extra PDCCH. The extra PDCCH may be restricted to certain positions relative to the basic PDCCH to simplify searching by the first UE.

  • Publication number: 20160088573
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (“UE”) and an evolved Node B (“eNB”). A UE may be adapted to signal to an eNB a request to adjust a downlink transmission power level. Based on the request, the eNB may adjust its downlink transmission power level. In another embodiment, an eNB may be adapted to adjust its downlink transmission power level according to a pseudorandom sequence. This pseudorandom sequence may be generated from a seed, which the eNB may signal to a UE. Based on power adjustments and/or randomizations, a UE may perform interference cancellation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9178901
    Abstract: The techniques described herein use training data to train classification models to detect malicious Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that target authentic resources (e.g., Web page, Web site, or other network locations accessed via a URL). The techniques train the classification models using one or more machine learning algorithms. The training data may include known benign URLs and known malicious URLs (e.g., training URLs) that are associated with a target authentic resource. The techniques then use the trained classification models to determine whether an unknown URL is a malicious URL. The malicious URL determination may be based on one or more lexical features (e.g., brand name edit distances for a domain and path of the URL) and/or site/page features (e.g., a domain age and a domain confidence level) extracted.

  • Patent number: 9122102
    Abstract: A patterned vertical alignment (PVA) pixel electrode is disclosed. The PVA pixel electrode includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first and second electrodes form a pre-tilt angle with respect to a periphery of the pixel. By disposing unequal lengths of indium-tin oxide (ITO) gaps at a periphery of the first and second electrodes, a distance between the first and second electrodes gradually becomes shortened from the center of the pixel outwards. The ITO gaps which are disposed at the periphery of a thin film transistor (TFT)-array substrate and/or a color filter (CF) are adjusted for eliminating a fringe field effect in the present invention, which a transmittance on the pixel regions is improved and an effect of image display quality is enhanced.
