Abstract: AM and LM parameters to be used for adapting an ASR model are derived for each audio segment of an audio stream comprising multiple audio programs. A set of identifiers, including a speaker identifier, a speaker domain identifier and a program domain identifier, is obtained for each audio segment. The set of identifiers are used to select most suitable AM and LM parameters for the particular audio segment. The embodiments enable provision of maximum constraints on the AMs and LMs and enable adaptation of the ASR model on the fly for audio streams of multiple audio programs, such as broadcast audio. This means that the embodiments enable selecting AM and LM parameters that are most suitable in terms of ASR performance for each audio segment.

Abstract: A method and a platoon manager for enabling a first wireless device located in a first vehicle to communicate over a cellular network when the first wireless device has no connection to the cellular network. After identifying a vehicle platoon to which the first vehicle belongs, a relay vehicle is found in the vehicle platoon where a second wireless device is located that has a connection to the cellular network. The second wireless device is then instructed to act as a relay to the cellular network for the communication with the first wireless device by means of a wireless Device-to-Device (D2D) link between the first and second wireless devices.

Abstract: Methods and devices enable connecting devices to cellular networks using the devices' hardware identifiers. Subscriber records include a hardware identifier assigned when the devices are manufactured. A target hardware identifier included in an attachment request is associated with an International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI, available to the cellular network if, according to subscriber records, the device is registered.

Abstract: A method and a communication device for determining a score relating to a first agent module are described. The communication device receives information relating to at least one request, performed by another agent module separate from the first agent module, for consumption of a capability of the first agent module. The information relating to the at least one request includes information about the capability of the first agent module, information about an intention of the first agent module, and information about a policy for the capability. The communication device calculates the score in relation to the first agent module based on the information relating to the at least one request, wherein the score further is specified with respect to the capability.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a communication node for handling packets in a communication network, which communication network is an ICN network. The communication node adds a time stamp to a packet, which packet is requesting content of a service or comprises at least a part of the content of the service and is of a format associated with the ICN network, and which time stamp is added into an ICN header of the packet. Furthermore, the communication node transmits the packet with the added time stamp towards another communication node.
