  • Publication number: 20210136656
    Abstract: Fifth Generation (5G) Millimeter Wave (mmWave) cellular networks are expected to serve a large set of throughput intensive, ultra-reliable, and ultra-low latency applications. To meet these stringent requirements, while minimizing the network cost, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project has proposed a new transport architecture, where certain functional blocks can be placed closer to the network edge. In this architecture, however, blockages and shadowing in 5G mmWave cellular networks may lead to frequent handovers (HOs) causing significant performance degradation. To meet the ultra-reliable and low-latency requirements of applications and services in an environment with frequent HOs, a Fast Inter-Base Station Ring (FIBR) architecture is described, in which base stations that are in close proximity are grouped together, interconnected by a bidirectional counter-rotating buffer insertion ring network.

  • Patent number: 10722489
    Abstract: This application discloses a D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase allosteric inhibitor and the use thereof. In one class is the benzoyl hydrazine compound for the allosteric site MDL-1 of the enzyme, and the other class is the furan compound for the allosteric site MDL-2 of the enzyme. In vitro enzymatic activity tests, cell viability tests and mouse xenograft model experiments confirm that the two classes of allosteric inhibitors can specifically inhibit the activity of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and delay the growth of cancer cells by reducing the overexpression of the enzyme in cancer cells. Same are used alone or in combination, or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs and can treat, prevent, or inhibit tumor diseases, including breast cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
