Abstract: Implementations of the present specification provide classification and indexing methods and devices, and methods and devices for querying similar samples. During classification, the samples in the sample set are clustered at two levels, and the clustering results are recorded in a first vector table and a second vector table. During indexing, indexes are established at two levels for each sample in the sample set, where the first level index points to a coarse cluster center to which the sample belongs, and the second level index points to a segment cluster center corresponding to a segment vector of the sample. During query of similar samples, searches are performed at two levels on the query samples. The first-level search is to determine a coarse cluster center that is closer to the query sample from the first vector table obtained through classification, and obtain comparison samples that belong to the coarse cluster center.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling parameters for uplink transmission associated with a device to facilitate improving a communication condition metric(s) (CCM(s)) of the uplink transmission are presented. A communication management component (CMC) can determine whether CCM satisfies a first threshold CCM. If CCM does not, CMC can modify a parameter(s) to reduce a number of resource blocks or an MCS value to improve the CCM. If respective minimum threshold levels have been reached for the number of resource blocks and MCS value, and CCM still is not satisfying the first threshold CCM, CMC can modify a parameter to increase an amount of repetition of data packets for uplink transmission (unless a maximum threshold amount of repetition is reached). If CCM satisfies an applicable threshold CCM for a defined amount of time, CMC can modify parameters to increase the number of resource blocks, increase MCS value, or reduce repetition of data packets.
