  • Power consumption optimization of user equipment in a 5G network based on RCL modulation of packets
    Patent number: 11818657
    Abstract: A method for power-savings of UE operating within a 5G network. Transmission requirement data of logical channels for application-level data are collected from SDAP, including logical channel ID, application ID, and QCI indexing information. A list of logical channels with QCI indexing for permissible delay of packets is created. The logical channels of the list are mapped to related RLC channels. Responsive to receipt of a packet by a RLC multiplexing layer, the RLC channel ID from a SARQ packet is mapped to the list of permissible transmission delay logical channels of packets. responsive to a match between the RLC channel ID and the logical channels of the list, the packet is saved to an RLC data structure in allocated memory, and responsive to receipt of a time-critical packet, the time-critical packet, and the saved packet are submitted to a MAC carrier controller for transmission processing.

  • Digital experience enhancement using an ensemble deep learning model
    Patent number: 11816562
    Abstract: A digital experience enhancement system includes an ensemble deep learning model that includes an estimator ensemble and a neural network. The ensemble deep learning model is trained to generate a digital experience enhancement recommendation from an enhancement request. The ensemble deep learning model receives the enhancement request, which is input to the estimator ensemble. The estimator ensemble uses various different machine learning systems to generate estimator output values. The neural network uses the estimator output values from the estimator ensemble to generate a digital experience enhancement recommendation. The digital experience generation system then uses this digital experience enhancement recommendation to enhance the digital experience.
