Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for implementing automatic grammar augmentation for improving voice command recognition accuracy in systems with a small footprint acoustic model. Alternative expressions that may capture acoustic model decoding variations may be added to a grammar set. An acoustic model-specific statistical pronunciation dictionary may be derived by running the acoustic model through a large general speech dataset and constructing a command-specific candidate set containing potential grammar expressions. Greedy based and cross-entropy-method (CEM) based algorithms may be utilized to search the candidate set for augmentations with improved recognition accuracy.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the rate-controlled forwarding of traffic to a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”). The rate of the forwarding of the traffic may be based on a latency sensitivity of the traffic, metrics associated with the base station, and an ingress capacity of the base station. The metrics associated with the base station may include congestion and/or load metrics, radio frequency (“RF”) metrics, or other suitable metrics. The latency sensitivity of the traffic may be determined based on a source and/or destination of the traffic, a network slice associated with the traffic, or other suitable traffic attributes. After receiving the rate-controlled traffic, the base station may perform scheduling and/or queueing of the traffic in order to wirelessly provide the traffic to one or more User Equipment (“UEs”).
