Abstract: An SeNB (30) informs an MeNB (20) that it can configure bearers for the given UE (10). At this time, the MeNB (20) manages the DRB status, and then sends a key S-KeNB to the SeNB (30). The MeNB (20) also sends a KSI for the S-KeNB to both of the UE (10) and the SeNB (30). After this procedure, the MeNB (20) informs an EPC (MME (40) and S-GW (50)) about the new bearer configured at the SeNB (30), such that the S-GW 50 can start offloading the bearer(s) to the SeNB 30. Prior to the offloading, the EPC network entity (MME (40) or S-GW (50)) performs verification that: 1) whether the request is coming from authenticated source (MeNB); and 2) whether the SeNB (30) is a valid eNB to which the traffic can be offload.

Abstract: A content management system (CMS) receives a create request indicating portions of content items maintained in a repository. CMS generates a new content item incorporating the indicated portions and checks-in the new content item into the repository. In another aspect, a CMS stores a link data indicating that a first portion of the new content item is linked to a second portion of a content item existing in the repository. Upon determining that the second portion has been modified after the checking-in of the new content item, CMS replaces the first portion in the new content item with the modified portion. In one more aspect, CMS receives an update request specifying a modified portion of a content item. CMS generates a revised content item by incorporating the modified portion in the content item and checks-in the revised content item as a revised version of the content item into the repository.

Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods of modeling card member data to classify a card member into one of a plurality of classifications based on interchange fees derived from the use of a card issued to the card member. The modeling may handle data distribution from one time period to another time period to address unavailability and/or variability of historical data, implement a neural network architecture based on transformers and discriminators for accurate data scaling, perform data filling for missing data, and fine-tuning for card types that have less card member data, which may result in enhanced performance and faster convergence resulting in reduced computational time. Such fine-tuning may leverage uniform standardization in the neural network to handle multiple card types, which is facilitated through the use of the transformers and discriminators for data scaling.
