  • Patent number: 9953102
    Abstract: Semi-structured source data is preprocessed to obtain text partitions to be stored into a data table with a first combined primary key including a structure thread primary key and a sequence value primary key. The structure thread primary key identifies a structure thread that is segmented into several consecutive intervals according to a determined or predetermined sequence. An inverted index table, created for the preprocessed text partitions, includes a second combined primary key including the structure thread primary key and a keyword primary key. Corresponding to values of the primary keys in the second combined primary key, related text partition sequence IDs are recorded as index values of the inverted index table. Index values having a same keyword primary key value but different structure thread primary key values are located in different rows in the inverted index table. The present techniques improve query efficiency of database index and facilitate updating.

  • Patent number: 9642116
    Abstract: A method and system determines an absolute Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) configuration based on a threshold. First saved radio resources and first wasted radio resources are calculated. The absolute MBSFN configuration is set as the final MBSFN configuration when the first saved radio resources are greater than or equal to the first wasted radio resources. When untrue, the absolute MBSFN configuration plus an adjacent cell pool is set as the final MBSFN configuration based on the final MBSFN configuration achieving a maximum value of second saved radio resources minus second wasted radio resources. When both of these conditions are untrue, the absolute MBSFN configuration minus an MBSFN cell pool is set as the final MBSFN configuration based on the final MBSFN configuration achieving a maximum value of third saved radio resources minus third wasted radio resources.

  • Patent number: 9548837
    Abstract: A method for transmitting and receiving a source data block using hybrid automatic retransmission request protocol. At the transmitting side, the source data block that is not decoded correctly at the receiving side is divided into a plurality of data segments, each of which may be padded with known data to expand the data segments to be a predetermined lengthen. At the receiving side, when each of the received data packets includes a data segment and a redundancy information segment, decoding is performed based on the received data segment and redundancy information segment extracted from buffered data packets, with chances to restore the data segment that is not decoded correctly in previous decoding processing. The additional decoding chances improve the probability of correctly decoding the erroneous data segment.
