Abstract: A signal transmission method and a communication apparatus are described. The method may include: mapping a reference signal to a target location in a discrete Fourier transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing DFT-s-OFDM symbol, where the target location is determined based on a pattern parameter of the reference signal and a location parameter of a data block, and the location parameter of the data block is used to determine a location of the data block in the DFT-s-OFDM symbol; and sending the DFT-s-OFDM symbol.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for classifying an item by dynamically probing different consumers for information related to the item. A description of the item may be parsed to identify a set of questions related to the item for probing consumers for additional information related to the item. The set of questions may be stored in a random forest associated with the item. The random forest may be traversed to select one or more subset of questions for probing a consumer for additional information. Once answers are obtained from a consumer based on the probing, the answers may be compiled with other answers stored in the random forest obtained from other consumers. The compiled answers may be used to generate an item classification for the item and may also be used to modify the random forest.
