  • Publication number: 20160328402
    Abstract: A keyword reporting system for mobile applications is disclosed that generates keyword reports for a subject mobile application. The reports include a set of most relevant keywords for the subject mobile application with their associated ranking and result value. The ranking of a keyword is the subject mobile application's position in a search result for the keyword. A result value is determined for each keyword as well, where the result value is the number of mobile applications found in a search result for the keyword. Based on the ranking and result value of each keyword, a weight value is determined for each keyword. The weight value indicates the relevance of the keyword for the subject mobile application. A set of keywords are sorted and selected based on the weight value and a keyword report is generated that includes the set of keywords along with their rankings.

  • Publication number: 20160021681
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for sending and receiving a random access preamble, and a corresponding device. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station, a first physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration index that is used to indicate at least two PRACH resource configurations; and selects, according to a channel characteristic value of the UE, a first PRACH resource configuration from the at least two PRACH resource configurations. The UE sends, to the base station, a random access preamble on a PRACH resource corresponding to the first PRACH resource configuration. Therefore, for UEs that have different channel characteristic values, PRACH resources corresponding to the channel characteristic values of the UEs and that are used to send random access preambles can be determined by using a same index, and thereby, PRACH resource configuration efficiency and accuracy of receiving random access preambles by the base station are improved.
