Abstract: Some wireless communications systems may support different types of communications between base stations and user equipment (UEs), such as mobile broadband (MBB) communications and low latency communications. Low latency communications may be associated with bursty and unpredictable transmissions. As described herein, to facilitate low latency communications and limit the latency associated with waiting on appropriate resources for transmitting low latency data, a base station may schedule downlink low latency transmissions on uplink resources or uplink low latency transmissions on downlink resources. Further, to limit the latency associated with scheduling low latency communications, a base station may be configured with a carrier for transmitting preemption indications (PIs) to one or more UEs to reassign resources for low latency communications. Similarly, in some cases, a UE may be configured with a carrier to transmit scheduling requests (SRs) to request resources for low latency communications.

Abstract: A synchrophasor measurement-based disturbance identification method is described considering different penetration levels of renewable energy. A differential Teager-Kaiser energy operator (dTKEO)-based algorithm is first utilized to improve multiple-disturbances detection accuracy. Then, feature extractions via the integrated additive angular margin (AAM) loss and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network is described. This enables one to deal with intra-class similarity and inter-class variance of disturbances when high penetration renewable energy occurs. With the extracted features, a multi-stage weighted summing (MSWS) loss-based criterion is described for adaptive data window determination and fast disturbance pre-classification. Finally, the re-identification model based on feature similarity is established to identify unknown disturbances, a challenge for existing machine learning algorithms.

If cluster of change activity does not appear to be authorized, the change order monitoring application sends an alert to a change management team and an application team to get more information about the activity.
