  • Patent number: 10805874
    Abstract: A wireless data relay has radio circuitry to wirelessly scan a frequency band having frequency channels. The radio circuitry attaches to a wireless network over the frequency band. The radio circuitry receives signaling from the wireless network indicating allowed frequency channels and transfers the signaling to control circuitry. In the wireless data relay, the control circuitry processes the signaling to direct the radio circuitry to use the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. In response, the radio circuitry wirelessly scans the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. The radio circuitry wirelessly re-attaches to the wireless communication network over the allowed frequency channels. The radio circuitry exchanges user data with the UEs. The radio circuitry exchanges the user data with the wireless network over the allowed frequency channels.

  • Patent number: 10163197
    Abstract: System and method for layer-wise training of deep neural networks (DNNs) are disclosed. In an embodiment, multiple labelled images are received at a layer of multiple layers of a DNN. Further, the labelled images are pre-processed. The pre-processed images are then transformed based on a predetermined weight matrix to obtain feature representation of the pre-processed images at the layer, the feature representation comprise feature vectors and associated labels. Furthermore, kernel similarity between the feature vectors is determined based on a predefined kernel function. Moreover, a Gaussian kernel matrix is determined based on the kernel similarity. In addition, an error function is computed based on the predetermined weight matrix and the Gaussian kernel matrix. Also, a weight matrix associated with the layer is computed based on the error function and predetermined weight matrix, thereby training the layer of the multiple layers.
