Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a read algorithm for a memory device are described. When performing a read operation, the memory device may access a memory cell to retrieve a value stored by the memory cell. The memory device may compare a set of reference voltages with a signal output by the memory cell based on accessing the memory cell.

Abstract: This application discloses a congestion control method and related apparatus. In the congestion control method, a network device first obtains statistical information of a target egress queue within a first time period, where the target egress queue is any target egress queue in the network device. The network device determines an explicit congestion notification (ECN) threshold for the target egress queue within a second time period based on the statistical information of the target egress queue within the first time period, where the second time period is chronologically subsequent to the first time period. When a queue depth of the target egress queue exceeds the ECN threshold within the second time period, the network device sets an ECN mark for a data packet in the target egress queue.

Abstract: A method for associating user equipment with base stations of a cellular network, in particular of a heterogeneous network such as a 5G network, uses a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm. When a user equipment enters the network, the agent associated with this equipment downloads the instance of an association meta model to a coordinating unit, pre-trained by means of reinforcement learning. The agent subsequently constructs a local observation vector, comprising observables relating to the user equipment, and a global observation vector, including observables relating to the environment of this equipment. The local and global observation vectors are projected into the same reference space, the concatenation of the vectors thus projected encoding the state of the agent. It deduces from the model and from this state, an association decision. The model is updated according to a policy gradient method to consider evolution of the environment of the user.
