Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for per-query prediction of shard relevance for search. In some examples, a search system may receive a first search query. A first score may be determined for a first database partition, the first score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to first data stored by the first database partition. Similarly, a second score may be determined for a second database partition, the second score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to second data stored by the second database partition. A determination may be made that the first search query is related to the first data stored by the first database partition. A determination may be made, based at least in part on the second score, that the first search query is unrelated to the second data stored by the second database partition.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE), manufacturer server, and/or cellular network to perform radio capability signaling. A new type of UE radio capability identifier is provided which may allow a network to distinguish between similar UEs that have or have not implemented a capability update. In order to perform a forced capability update, a manufacturer may issue information about the update to a cellular network (and receive acknowledgement of the information) prior to pushing the update to UEs. In response to an unforced capability update, a cellular network may maintain multiple UE radio capability identifiers for similar UEs which have or have not implemented the update. A UE radio capability identifier may be adjusted dynamically in response to temporary changes in the UE's capability.
