First information is obtained that carries indication information of both a first transmission resource and a second transmission resource, wherein the first transmission resource is for the first communication apparatus to transmit a first output of the first machine learning model to the second communication apparatus, and wherein the second transmission resource is for the first communication apparatus to receive first feedback data that is from the second communication apparatus. The first feedback data includes a first gradient, wherein the first gradient is for updating the first machine learning model. The first communication apparatus transmits the first output to the second communication apparatus on the first transmission resource.

In the method, a plurality of communication apparatuses are grouped based on geographical locations of the plurality of communication apparatuses, and a group identifier of a device group to which a communication apparatus belongs and an identifier of a beam to be switched to during the beam switch are sent, in a broadcast manner, to the communication apparatus that belongs to the same device group.

Abstract: In a cell handover method and apparatus, first network device of a first cell obtains user information of a terminal device, and then the first network device may determine handover information based on the user information and running information of the first network device, so that after the first network device sends an RRC message including the handover information to the terminal device, the terminal device may perform N consecutive cell handovers based on the handover information. In the N cell handovers, the first network device only needs to obtain the user information once, to configure handover conditions for the N subsequent handovers in advance at a time. This simplifies a network signaling procedure, reduces network overheads, and reduces handover response time. The embodiments of this disclosure are applicable to a network handover in a satellite scenario.

Abstract: Fragmentation of cell-free DNA molecules is measured and used for various purposes, including determining methylation, e.g., at a particular site of a DNA molecule, at a particular genomic site in a reference genome for a biological sample (e.g., plasma, serum, urine, saliva) of cell-free DNA of a subject, or for a particular region in the reference genome for the biological sample (also just referred to as a sample). Various types of fragmentation measurements can be used, e.g., end motifs and cleavage profiles. Another purpose is determining a fractional concentration of DNA of a particular tissue type (e.g., clinically-relevant DNA). Another purpose is determining a pathology of a subject using a biological sample including cell-free DNA. The cell-free DNA can be of the subject or of a pathogen (e.g., a virus) in the subject's sample. Sites/regions that are hypermethylated, hypomethylated, 5hmC-enriched, and 5hmC-depleted for a particular tissue type can be used.
