  • Publication number: 20240379212
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for predicting an intra-aortic pressure of a patient receiving hemodynamic support from a transvalvular micro-axial heart pump. In some implementations, an intra-aortic pressure time series is derived from measurements of a pressure sensor of the transvalvular micro-axial heart pump and a motor speed time series is derived from a measured back electromotive force of a motor of the transvalvular micro-axial heart pump. Furthermore, in some implementations, machine learning algorithms, such as deep learning, are applied to the intra-aortic pressure and motor speed time series to accurately predict an intra-aortic pressure of the patient. In some implementations, the prediction is short-term (e.g., approximately 5 minutes in advance).

  • Publication number: 20240373495
    Abstract: Wireless networks may have thousands of configurable parameters, so manual tuning is infeasible. A self-organizing network (SON) can provide automation. However, automated algorithms are not designed to interact with a wireless network, and network experimentation can jeopardize reliability. To address the former, a SON facilitator of a wireless network management node exposes an API that can translate network configuration information for consumption by a SON enhancer, which may implement an AI algorithm for network tuning. The SON facilitator can also transform output from the SON enhancer into directions for controlling a test scenario, including generating a DL SON message describing the test to a UE. To further increase reliability during the test scenario, the UE can be provisioned with two wireless connections. A first connection is unchanged by the test scenario for stability, and a second connection is used for testing.

  • Publication number: 20240373259
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for optimizing a cellular network using machine learning. A network-optimization controller determines a performance metric to optimize for a cellular network. The network-optimization controller determines at least one network-configuration parameter that affects the performance metric. The network-optimization controller sends a gradient-request message to multiple base stations that directs multiple wireless transceivers to respectively evaluate gradients of the performance metric relative to the at least one network-configuration parameter. The network-optimization controller receives, from the multiple base stations, gradient-report messages generated by the multiple wireless transceivers, the gradient-report messages respectively including the gradients. The network-optimization controller analyzes the gradients using machine learning to determine at least one optimized network-configuration parameter.

  • Patent number: 12136967
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for a user equipment (UE)-coordination set for a wireless network. In aspects, a base station specifies a set of UEs to form a UE-coordination set for joint transmission and reception of data intended for a target UE within the UE-coordination set. The base station selects one of the UEs within the UE-coordination set to act as a coordinating UE for the UE-coordination set and transmits a request message that directs the coordinating UE to coordinate the joint transmission and reception of the data intended for the target UE. Then, the base station transmits a downlink signal to each UE within the UE-coordination set. Each UE within the UE-coordination set demodulates and samples the downlink signal and then forwards the samples to the coordinating UE, which combines the samples and processes the combined samples to provide decoded data.

  • Patent number: 12127179
    Abstract: The systems, methods, and techniques described in this disclosure allow different wireless systems that operate in accordance with different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) to coexist within a same frequency domain with minimal (if any) inter-RAT interference. Specifically, the described techniques allocate a respective, mutually-exclusive portion of a plurality of Space-Time-Frequency (STF) resources for use in communicating in accordance with each different RAT. For example, mutually-exclusive portions of spatial domain resources, time domain resources, and/or frequency domain resources may be respectively allocated for exclusive use by different RATs. A centralized, third-party controller (120) may perform the allocations, or the allocations may be cooperatively arrived at between systems supporting different RATs, e.g., in a peer-to-peer manner. STF resource allocations may be static and/or dynamic over time, and STF resources may be uniquely identified by respective resource identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20240333601
    Abstract: A wireless system employs neural networks to provide for CSI estimate feedback between a transmitting device and a receiving device. A managing component selects neural network architecture configurations for implementation at the transmitting and receiving devices based on capability information. The receiving device determines CSI estimate(s) from CSI pilot signaling from the transmitting device. The CSI estimate(s) are processed by the neural network(s) at the receiving device to generate a CSF output, which can represent, for example, one or more predicted future CSI estimates and which is wirelessly transmitted to the transmitting device. The one or more neural networks at the transmitting device then process the received CSF output along to generate one or more recovered predicted future CSI estimates, which are then used to control one or more MIMO processes at the transmitting device.

  • Patent number: 12108472
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling dual connectivity with secondary cell-user equipment. In some aspects, a base station (121) serving as a primary cell forms a base station-user equipment dual connectivity (BUDC) group (410) by configuring a user equipment (UE, 111) as a secondary cell-user equipment (SC-UE, 420) to provide a secondary cell. The base station (121) or SC-UE (420) can then add other UEs (112, 113, 114) to the BUDC group (410) thereby enabling dual connectivity for the UEs through the primary cell or secondary cell provided by the SC-UE (420). In some cases, the SC-UE (420) schedules resources of an air interface (302) by which the other UEs to communicate with the SC-UE (420). By so doing, the SC-UE (420) can communicate data with the other UEs (112, 113, 114) of the BUDC group (410) without communicating through a base station (121, 122), which decreases latency of communications between the UEs (111-114) of the BUDC group (410).
