  • Patent number: 11956766
    Abstract: A method comprises selecting a beam to be scheduled for a slot that is upcoming, and selecting a terminal device to be scheduled in the selected beam. Selection of the terminal device is based on the terminal device considering the selected beam as its best beam. Physical resource blocks are allocated to the terminal device, and a beam configuration to be used for the selected beam is chosen based in part on user traffic and load distribution. A switching event is triggered. The switching event comprises producing the chosen beam configuration by providing a beamforming command and using a control line controlling a switch network comprised in phase shifters to steer the beam. The phase shifters are comprised in a radio frequency front-end unit comprising a plurality of antenna columns. The phase shifters are placed in front of selected antenna sub-arrays comprised in the plurality of antenna columns.

  • Patent number: 11321374
    Abstract: Systems and methods to migrate unstructured objects such as, but not limited to, attachments and platform change documents from a database to a cloud-provided external object storage. The unstructured objects may be designated for migration based on their creation date and/or other characteristics. Migration of an object may include conversion of the object to a serialized file in an object notation format. The database may maintain a header of the migrated object indicating the location to which the object was migrated.

  • Publication number: 20150100645
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for dynamically rebuilding content of sent out entails are described herein. The method involves receiving a request to render a content of a personalized email sent to a particular recipient of a plurality of recipients. In response to the request, an outbound email tracking table having individual tracking record for each recipient is invoked. The tracking table holds a mapping of the plurality of recipients to specific versions of an email template. The email template includes place holders for receiving variables specific to each recipient. Based on the mapping, a specific version of the email template applied in creating the email sent to the particular recipient is retrieved and the sent email is rebuilt by replacing the place holders in the retrieved email with variables specific to the particular recipient.

  • Patent number: 8527318
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing marketing campaigns. A communication module is capable of executing a first step of a marketing campaign, and is capable of handling customer responses to the marketing campaign received through a variety of communication channels, regardless of which channel was used for contacting the customers. Customers may respond by email, telephone, fax, in person, through an internet site, by letter or by other modes of communication. An object generation module generates an object containing information from the response, uses the information to match the response with the marketing campaign, and links the object to the marketing campaign. A person may override the object generation module's matching by inputting the identity of another marketing campaign for matching. A campaign management module receives the object from the object generation module. A user may modify how the system matches responses with marketing campaigns.
