Publication number: 20240256888Abstract: A method (400) for dynamic RL. The method includes using an RL algorithm to select a first action and triggering performance of the selected first action. The method also includes after the first action is performed, obtaining a first reward value (R1) associated with the first action. The method also includes using R1 and/or a performance indicator (P1) to determine whether an algorithm modification condition is satisfied. The method further includes, as a result of determining that the algorithm modification condition is satisfied, modifying the RL algorithm to produce a modified RL algorithm. In this way, the RL algorithm adapts to changes in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jingya LI, Zhiqiang QI, Xingqin LIN, Anders ARONSSON, Hongyi ZHANG, Jan BOSCH, Helena HOLMSTRÖM OLSSON

Patent number: 9817456Abstract: A first aspect provides in a supply voltage control module, a method of providing instructions for setting a supply voltage comprising obtaining information on a supply voltage need of a load and based on that information, determining a supply voltage that is to be provided to the load. Subsequently, an instruction is sent to a power supply module to supply the determined supply voltage to the load. A need for a supply voltage of a load, like an integrated circuit, may not only depend on design of the load, but also on parameters of the manufacturing process and the level of activity of the load. By obtaining information on a supply voltage need of the load and using that information to determine a supply voltage to be provided to the load, a feedback loop is created by instructing a point of load power supply to provide the supply voltage determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Björn Olsson, Anders Aronsson, Per Ingelhag, Fredrik Larsson
