Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain operational data from a radio access network (RAN), format the operational data into state information and reward information for a reinforcement learning agent (RLA), processing the state information and the reward information via the RLA, where the RLA comprises a plurality of sub-agents, each comprising a respective neural network, each of the neural networks encoding a respective policy for selecting at least one setting of at least one parameter of the RAN to increase a respective predicted reward in accordance with the state information, and where each neural network is updated in accordance with the reward information. The processing system may further determine settings for parameters of the RAN via the RLA, where the RLA determines the settings in accordance with selections for the settings via the plurality of sub-agents, and apply the plurality of settings to the RAN.

Abstract: The invention discloses a prefetch-adaptive intelligent cache replacement policy for high performance, in the presence of hardware prefetching, a prefetch request and a demand request are distinguished, a prefetch predictor based on an ISVM (Integer Support Vector Machine) is used for carrying out re-reference interval prediction on a cache line of prefetching access loading, and a demand predictor based on an ISVM is utilized to carry out re-reference interval prediction on a cache line of demand access loading. A PC of a current access load instruction and PCs of past load instructions in an access historical record are input, different ISVM predictors are designed for prefetch and demand requests, reuse prediction is performed on a loaded cache line by taking a request type as granularity, the accuracy of cache line reuse prediction in the presence of prefetching is improved, and performance benefits from hardware prefetching and cache replacement is better fused.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards load balancing in an adaptive and automated way for wireless mobility networks to improve the overall harmonic-average UE throughput within each controlled group of cells (e.g., different frequency carriers serving a sector of a base station). A load balancer (e.g., analytics component) obtains various device traffic data including throughput data for cells of a group. Pairs of cells in a group (sharing a site and face) can be selected based on satisfying various criteria, with estimated throughput gain achieved by changing the handoff rates between the cell pairs. The technology iteratively repeats the overall process, driving a system to an optimal equilibrium.

Abstract: A device can receive, from a network node device, call trace event data relating to characteristics of a wireless communication session between the network node device and a user equipment. The device can sequence and combine the call trace event data for a period of the wireless communication session. The device can analyze the call trace event data to determine a category of network communication traffic transmitted via a communication channel between the network node device and the user equipment. In response to a determination that the network communication traffic comprises streaming video packets, the device can facilitate directing of network resources to be allocated to support the wireless communication session.

Abstract: A method of electroless nickel plating on surface of silicon carbide powder with a uniform and stable coating. In this method, ultrasonic assist is introduced in the pre-treatment and during plating process, and the powder particles in the liquid are dispersed and deagglomerated by the mechanical action and cavitation of the ultrasonic waves, thereby achieving a uniform dispersion of the powder in the dispersant. Furthermore, a reducing agent is slowly added during plating so as to give a more uniform and stable deposition of the coating onto the surface of the powder particles, and thus a silicon carbide core-nickel shell structure with an excellent powder dispersibility and a uniform and stable coating is produced.
