Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for a platform orchestrator to use verified add-on resources. One of the methods includes receiving, by a platform orchestrator, an add-on resource API command that references an add-on resource installed on one or more software platforms launched by the platform orchestrator. A request to execute the add-on resource API command is provided to a platform controller of a software platform of the one or more software platforms launched by the platform orchestrator. The add-on resource API command is executed including identifying one or more instances of the add-on resource referenced by the add-on resource API command that are executed as workloads on the software platform launched by the platform orchestrator.

Abstract: A method for reducing adaptive beam forming computation resources for estimating and updating a model of unwrapped beam weights. The optimal beam pattern weights of an antenna array are estimated using an adaptive beamforming algorithm. An initial model is created for either magnitude or phase components of the optimal beam pattern weights computed from the adaptive beamforming algorithm estimates. For each time step, a measurement of optimal beam pattern weights is estimated, using a reduced set of data comprising 5-20% of first samples of signal reference data. New beam pattern weights are computed using a magnitude Kalman filter (KF) and/or phase KF, wherein the computation resources required to obtain the new beam pattern weights are reduced by 80 to 90% over an adaptive beam forming algorithm.
