  • Publication number: 20240020582
    Abstract: A machine receives a first set of global parameters from a global parameter server. Multiple learner processors in the machine execute an algorithm that models an entity type using the first set of global parameters and a mini-batch of data known to describe the entity type. The machine generates a consolidated set of gradients that describes a direction for the first set of global parameters in order to improve an accuracy of the algorithm in modeling the entity type when using the first set of global parameters and the mini-batch of data. The machine transmits the consolidated set of gradients to the global parameter server. The machine then receives a second set of global parameters from the global parameter server, where the second set of global parameters is a modification of the first set of global parameters based on the consolidated set of gradients.

  • Patent number: 11877245
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods to indicate power transmission capability for a wireless device. A wireless device may connect to a base station (BS). The wireless device may transmit information regarding transmit power capability to the BS. The wireless device may indicate support for full power transmit capability for a subset of TPMIs for which it provides full power transmit capability, e.g., in a bitmap. This subset of TPMIs may be less than all of the available TPMIs (i.e., it may be a strict subset of the available TPMIs). Full power transmission capability of these indicated TPMIs may be provided via antenna switching and/or antenna virtualization. The wireless device may perform uplink transmission to the BS according to the transmit power capability indicated in the information. For example, the UE may transmit data using the antenna virtualization related to the subset of the TPMIs.
