Abstract: Systems and methods model earth stations and other captive terrestrial sites as simulated cell sites in a radio access network (RAN) to identify potential cellular network interferers with the earth stations. A computing device selects an earth station within a geographic area of a RAN segment and model the earth station as a cell within the RAN segment, wherein the modeling creates a simulated earth station cell. The computing device obtains sector carrier data for cells in the RAN segment and scores, based on the sector carrier data, neighboring cells to the simulated earth station cell. The scoring indicates a level of potential interference of the neighboring cells with the earth station based on geo-spatial relevance. The computing device identifies projected mobility interference in neighboring cells to the earth station and provides prioritization recommendations for interference mitigation for the earth station based on the scoring and the identifying.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for translating data, extracted from disparate data sources, into a homogeneous dataset to provide meaningful information. The database schema definition module defines a database schema in order to extract meaningful information pertaining to a specific use-case. The data source determination module determines one or more disparate data sources pertinent to extract the meaningful information. The data extraction module extracts heterogeneous dataset from the one or more disparate data sources.

The data translation module translates the heterogeneous dataset into the homogeneous dataset by using at least one data adapter.

Abstract: A technique relates to biasing, using a control system, a crossbar array of resistive processing units (RPUs) under a midrange condition, the midrange condition causing resistances of the RPUs to result in a random output of low values and high values in about equal proportions. The control system reinforces the low values and the high values of the random output by setting the resistances of the RPUs to a state that forces the low values and the high values having resulted from the midrange condition. Reinforcing the low values and the high values makes the random output permanent even when the crossbar array of the RPUs is not biased under the midrange condition. The control system records a sequence of the low values and the high values of the random output responsive to reinforcing the low values and the high values of the random output.
