Abstract: A network device comprises a memory, a radio system, a control line, and a processor. The radio system can be controllably configured to operate in a first channel state or a second channel state. The first channel state enables transmission of first client device reception data on a first channel and reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel. The second channel state enables transmission of second client device reception data on a second channel and reception of second client device transmission data on the second channel. The control line is arranged to provide a control signal to the radio system so as to place the radio system in either the first channel state or the second channel state.

Abstract: A network device having a memory, a radio system, a control line, and a processor. The radio system can operate in a first channel state or a second channel state. The first channel state enables transmission of first client device reception data on a first channel, reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel, and reception of second client device transmission data on a second channel. The second channel state enables transmission of second client device reception data on the second channel, reception of second client device transmission data on the second channel, and reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel. The processor determines a portion of time for which the radio system should be configured to operate in the first channel state.

Abstract: A regularization-based (RB) hedging tool identifies a recommended hedging portfolio that track a target asset and provides one or metrics indicating a predicted performance of the hedging portfolio relative to the target asset. The RB hedging tool uses a RB hedging model that is trained on price data from an observation period. Initial hyperparameters for the model are selected using asset price data from a validation period and the performance of the model is evaluated by applying it to asset price data from a backtest period. The end-user is presented with one or more metrics indicating the performance of the model and may modify one or more settings (e.g., hyperparameters) of the model. The model is retrained and reapplied to the backtest period, and the metrics are updated. Thus, end-users may tailor the model to their own particular needs and preferences.
