  • Publication number: 20240096058
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to update or retrain a trained machine learning model/process based on edge ground truth data generated by edge devices. For example, a computing device may obtain, from a database, a first dataset of a first trained machine learning process and a second dataset of a second trained machine learning process. The first dataset may include at least a first value of a parameter of the first trained machine learning process. Additionally, the computing device may transmit, to a first edge device of a plurality of edge devices, a message including the first dataset and the second dataset. Further, the computing device may receive, from the first edge device, a third dataset associated with the message, and update a portion of the first dataset with the third dataset. The updated portion of the first dataset may include an updated value of the parameter.

  • Patent number: 11863314
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for the granular, interference aware selection of modulation and coding schemes (MCS) per-sub-band, per-stream, and in some examples, per-user. In some examples, channel condition metrics regarding wireless communication conditions, including interference conditions, from a communication node of a wireless access system may be received. Based at least on the received channel condition metrics indicative of interference, a multidimensional interference margin generator may determine a per-sub-band per-stream margin. A modulation and coding scheme may be selected based on the per-sub-band per-stream margin. In some examples, the selected modulation and coding scheme may be transmitted to various modulators/demodulators, encoders/decoders, and/or other communication nodes within the wireless access system. In some examples, a scheduler may select an allocation based at least on the per-sub-band per-stream margin.

  • Patent number: 11552836
    Abstract: Physical layer processing methods for network acquisition by remote nodes in wireless communication systems are described herein. New methods for wireless network discovery and synchronization by remote nodes are described herein that utilize spatial (e.g., antenna array) processing algorithms which may achieve enhanced functioning in challenging radio frequency environments, such as those containing interference and multipath distortion effects. These methods may include advantageous use of spatial whiteners and associated pluralities of adaptive beamformers to detect network reference and synchronization signals and estimate their parameters.

  • Publication number: 20180009429
    Abstract: The disclosed invention makes use of a wheel speed signal to detect a wheel anomaly such as a loose wheel or a wheel with zero pressure. The wheel speed signal is used as a basis to determine a first and a second detection signal. A further basis for determining the first and second detection signals are a first and second reference signal, respectively. The anomaly of e.g. a loose wheel is detected, according to the teaching of the invention if at least one of the detection signals exceeds a threshold. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods, systems and computer program products to achieve the mentioned objective.
