  • Patent number: 11323192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an adaptive modulation method for a naive Bayes classifier-based energy harvesting relay system. First, a sending end determines its modulation mode based on a status of a data buffer of a relay, so that sent data does not exceed a storage capability of the relay. Then, based on data sent by the sending end, and channel status information and energy harvesting status information within a period of time, the relay determines an optimal modulation mode used by the relay within the period of time. After that, the modulation mode, the channel status information, and the energy harvesting status information are used as training data to obtain a classification model based on a naive Bayes classifier algorithm. In this way, the relay can adaptively select a modulation mode when only knowing of channel information and energy information in a current timeslot.

  • Patent number: 10652315
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for distributing information in a graphic code. The method includes acquiring an identification code in a selected graphic code; sending to a server a first update request including the identification code when the identification code does not exist; receiving first response information fed back by the server; starting, according to the application program identifier in the first response information, an application program corresponding to the application program identifier. When an identification code of a graphic code does not exist in an electronic device, an application program identifier corresponding to the identification code is requested from a server, and an application program corresponding to the application program identifier is started. Thus, a probability that information in a graphic code can be successfully processed is relatively high, and a success rate of identifying a graphic code is improved.
