Abstract: In various embodiments a computer-implemented method for communicating sets of entities in a content catalog is disclosed. The method includes loading an entity index into memory at a microservice, where the entity index comprises entity identifiers corresponding to titles in a catalog, and where each identifier in the entity index is mapped to an ordinal number. The method also includes composing a message including a bitset to identify titles from the catalog, where a bit in the bitset is set if a position of the bit in the bitset corresponds to a respective ordinal number in the entity index associated with the one or more titles. Additionally, the method includes transmitting the message to a different microservice where a memory for the recipient microservice comprises a copy of the entity index, and where the bitset comprised within the message is decoded into entity identifiers using the entity index.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to personal history recall, for a received user input, through contextual analysis of user data associated with user usage of applications/services. Examples described herein extend functionality of and enable a virtual assistant to provide efficient and accurate recall processing even in instances where a user provides vague or general description. An exemplary virtual assistant is configured to process user input received through any modality. A virtual assistant is programmed with a skill for custom search processing that adapts operation of the virtual assistant. An exemplary skill for custom search processing provides a layer of intelligence over raw application data to enable the virtual assistant to match user input to a previous context in which a user was executing an application/service. Contextual search ranking and filtering factors in access to content and user activity when evaluating a user input such as a spoken utterance.

Abstract: A power calibration scheme adjusts power levels of network of femtocells based on macro signals seen at different points in and around a coverage area and based on the mutual positions of the femtocells (e.g., based on femtocell signals seen at these points). The power calibration scheme thus facilitates a good balance between providing a desired level of coverage and mitigation of interference to nearby macrocells and femtocells.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for communication comprise aspects that include performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements. The methods and apparatus further comprise aspects that include storing the one or more one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise aspects that include adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing power control for a femto node deployed in a wireless network that include adjusting a transmission parameter of the femto node based on one or more signal energy parameters, such as a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). A comparison between the signal energy, a noise floor, and a threshold signal energy can be determined, and a transmission parameter of the femto node is accordingly adjusted based on the comparison.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that include deploying a femto node in a wireless network. The femto node can measure received signal quality upon initialization in a wireless network and/or according to a timing. The femto node can determine whether to communicate in the wireless network based on comparing the received signal quality to a threshold signal quality. The timing can be determined based on various factors to ensure fairness among femto nodes initializing in the wireless network. A centralized entity can be used to determine the timing and/or whether a femto node should communicate.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing power control for a femto node deployed in a wireless network that include adjusting a transmission parameter of the femto node based on one or more radio frequency (RF) environment parameters. An RF environment parameter can be determined for a femto node related to a location in a coverage area. A different RF environment parameter related to other femto nodes at the location in the coverage area can be received from one or more devices, a network listening module, etc. A transmission parameter of the femto node, such as a transmit power, can be adjusted based on the RF environment parameter and the different RF environment parameter.

Abstract: A location of an access terminal is estimated based on uplink signals that a plurality of femto cells receive from the access terminal. The transmit power of the access terminal may be adjusted in some cases to facilitate the reception of signals at the femto cells during a location determination operation. In some embodiments, a location of an access terminal is estimated based on relative path loss values derived from the signals received by the femto cells.

Abstract: A location of an access terminal is estimated based on signals received by the access terminal. The manner in which a femto cell transmits signals and/or the manner in which the access terminal monitors for signals may be controlled in some cases to facilitate the reception of signals at the access terminal during a location determination operation. In some embodiments, the number of femto cells for which the access terminal monitors for signals may be controlled by controlling the manner in which the access terminal maintains its active set. In some embodiments, in the event a given femto cell is interfering with the ability of an access terminal to receive signals from other femto cells, that femto cell may be instructed to temporarily stop transmissions (e.g., on the traffic channel and/or a beacon channel).
