  • Patent number: 11380300
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, an apparatus comprises a non-transitory computer-readable storage media and a processor coupled to the media executes instructions to: access a plurality of text, generate, using one or more natural language understanding (NLU) models, one or more scores for at least a portion of the plurality of text. The apparatus determines, based on the scores, one or more prosodic values corresponding to the portion of the plurality of text. The apparatus determines, based on the one or more prosodic values, one or more speech synthesis markup language (SSML) tags. The apparatus then generates, based on the prosodic values, SSML-tagged data comprising each determined SSML tag and that tag's location in the plurality of text.

  • Patent number: 8325649
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for determining a Transmission Power Control (TPC) command of an UpLink (UL) channel in a User Equipment (UE). The method includes storing TPC commands received through each Radio Link (RL) for preset combining periods, before entry into Discontinuous Transmission (DTX); combining the stored TPC commands; if all of the TPC commands are UP commands, determining a combined TPC command of the UL channel as a power level derived using a TPC command received in a designated previous DownLink (DL) slot among DL slots included in each RL, and controlling a transmit power of the UL channel, in a current DL slot which uplink transmission is resumed, using a power level corresponding to the determined TPC command.

  • Publication number: 20100254324
    Abstract: Determination of transmission power control commands in a UE by combining TPC commands received during DTX/DRX modes. The combining is done on those TPC commands which are received on different radio links after ignoring TPC commands which might be received in a DL slot overlapping with no UL transmission. The UE thus uses the combined TPC commands as derived at the time of entry into DTX for the second UL DPCCH preamble transmission which leads to increase in link reliability and subsequent conservation of power by the UE. The UE uses the same power as derived in the previous slot for resumption of transmission when all the TPC commands, received in the DL slot overlapping with no UL transmission, are UP. TPC commands for the transmission of the 2nd DPCCH preamble at transmission resumption is determined by combining stored TPC commands from each of the radio links that were received by the UE while entering into DTX gap and said TPC commands could not be applied with the newly received TPC commands.
