Abstract: A test device can be used with an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) fronthaul and to test an uplink communication channel. The test device determines an uplink communication channel for passive intermodulation distortion (PIM) testing. The test device generates and transmits control plane (C-plane) messages to request the future RBs from an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU) installed at a cell site according to a delay time period. The test device receives user plane (U-Plane) messages from the O-RU containing data for the future RBs, and determines whether PIM is detected.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a non-opaque, abstract, unified query language that exposes the query as a first-class citizen of the underlying architecture. The present disclosure thus facilitates the creation of no-code or low-code applications by enabling a level of collaboration between components that may be difficult to achieve if the language employed were opaque to the architecture. The disclosed query language may be considered “SQL-like,” which may allow contributors familiar with structured query language (SQL) to effectively participate in the design of an application. The defined structures of a data objects of the non-opaque query language described herein are not-hidden and inspectable.

Abstract: Systems and methods implement a Swiss tournament to determine which of a plurality of candidate feature variables provide the best predictive ability for a target variable. The Swiss tournament is advantageous when there are so many candidate feature variables that it is computationally infeasible to test all combinations of these candidates. Each candidate feature has an aggregate score that identifies how well it contributes to a model's prediction accuracy. With each iteration, or “round” of the Swiss tournament, the candidates are ranked and divided into subsets. All of the candidates within each subset are then used to train the model. Model-independent permutation techniques determine each candidate's contribution to the model's predictive accuracy, from which each candidate's score is then updated. Low-performing candidates may be removed from consideration, thereby speeding up subsequent iterations.
