Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating information for navigation in an environment are disclosed. The method comprises generating, by a device, state information about a part of the environment where the device is positioned, receiving, by the device from at least one other device, messages comprising state information about a part of the environment where the at least one other device is positioned, the meaning of the messages being learned based on emergent communication, abstracting the state space for the environment by an abstractor module based on the generated state information and the received state information messages to provide an abstracted state space, and generating information for the device by a reinforced learning module for navigation in the environment based on the abstracted state space and further state information generated by the device and received from the at least one other device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a learning data acquisition apparatus and method for receiving, from each of a plurality of terminals, mixed data in which a plurality of pieces of learning data are mixed according to a mixing ratio, identifying the mixed data transmitted from each of the plurality of terminals according to an included label, and acquire re-mixed learning data for training a pre-stored learning model by re-mixing each identified label according to a re-mixing ratio configured in correspondence to the number of terminals having transmitted the mixed data, thereby enabling learning performance and security to be improved by re-mixing the mixed data transmitted from each of the plurality of terminals in a data mixing manner.

Abstract: There is provided a method for controlling quality of service in a network, the method may include: obtaining network traffic prediction information and coverage information of the network, predicting a service availability for at least one terminal device based at least on the network traffic prediction information and the coverage information, and controlling the quality of service for the at least one terminal device based on the service availability.

Abstract: There is provided a solution for using application layer information to establish clusters in a cell of a cellular communication system. In an embodiment, there is acquired at least one information element representing application layer networking relationship of a first user account associated with a first terminal device with at least a second user account of a second terminal device. The information element may be used in connection with determining the clusters in the cellular communication system.

Abstract: Mobility management mechanism wherein a source base station is configured to send to a target base station the transmission rate history of a user equipment to be handed off from the source base station to the target base station.

Abstract: There is provided a method, comprising: arranging a set of user nodes (311-322) of a social network community (302) into at least one proximity-based cluster (304, 306, 308); determining popular data content in a given proximity-based cluster; and proactively caching the popular data content to at least one user node of the proximity-based cluster, in order to enable the user nodes in the proximity-based cluster to transfer the popular data content via direct proximity-based communication between the user nodes.

Abstract: Mobility management mechanism wherein a source base station is configured to send to a target base station the transmission rate history of a user equipment to be handed off from the source base station to the target base station.

Abstract: An apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories including computer program code. The one or more memories and the computer program code are configured, with the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: allowing a first user to learn to share available radio spectrum with a second user in a coverage area of a cell, comprising, assigning a probability distribution function of a transmit configuration based on a number of component carriers in the cell, conducting a transmission from the cell, calculating a cost for operation of the cell over a selected time interval, updating the probability distribution function at an end of the selected time interval, selecting an optimal number of component carriers for use in the transmit configuration, and using the selected optimal number of component carriers to determine a sharing operation.

Abstract: A method comprises off-loading data traffic from user equipment in a coverage area of a cell from a first band to second band. The off-loading comprises building a probability distribution function of a transmit configuration for power levels of sub-bands for first bands and second bands in the cell and updating the probability distribution function being configured at an end of a selected time interval.
