Abstract: In some aspects, systems and methods are described herein for determining rightsizing adjustments to a cluster of cloud servers using a multi-dimensional operating ratio. The system collects usage data from a cloud server, comprising multiple dimensions of cloud computation usage. The system then processes the usage data using a cleansing process to generate processed usage data, wherein the cleansing process comprises outlier removal and seasonality adjustment. The system compares the processed usage data against a benchmark to generate a workload metric. The workload metric corresponds to values in the multiple dimensions of the cloud computation usage, indicating a distance from the expected usage data. Based on the workload metric and using a predictive model, generating expected capacity needs. Based on the expected capacity needs, determining a set of rightsizing changes, wherein the set of rightsizing changes comprises changes to capacities of the cloud server.

Abstract: A method is provided for compensating for clock drift error and movement error of an access terminal. A forward link error is obtained that is attributable to at least a first error (e.g., clock drift error) component and a second error (e.g., movement error) component. The first error component and the second error component are estimated based on the obtained forward link error. A receive clock of the access terminal is compensated based on a combination of the first error component and the second error component. A transmit clock of the access terminal is compensated based on a difference between the first error component and the second error component. The forward link error may include a timing synchronization error between the access terminal and an access point as well as a frequency synchronization error between a forward link frequency and a baseband reference frequency.

Abstract: Provided are improved systems and methods for spread spectrum communication employing hybrid Eb/No and pilot-based finger lock determination for RAKE receivers. Finger lock thresholds are periodically set using an extended time-averaged Eb/No traffic signal estimate for each finger mapped to an Ec/No pilot level, where the extended time-averaged Eb/No estimate is inversely proportional to the mapped Ec/No level, thus, decreasing the required Ec/No level when the Eb/No estimate increases and increasing the required Ec/No level when the Eb/No estimate decreases. Existing pilot-based finger lock algorithms may be used with the Ec/No threshold set using the extended time-averaged Eb/No estimate. When pilot signals are weak but traffic signals remain strong, fingers will remain locked to increase the combiner output signal-to-noise ratio.

Multiple reverse activity channels are dynamically assigned to one or more carriers of a forward link, wherein the reverse activity channels transport information about a corresponding plurality of carriers of a reverse link. A message is generated for specifying information about the channel assignments and the information about the reverse link carriers.
