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: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a compressed UE capability message that can indicate to a mobile network the various capabilities of the UE. In particular, the carrier aggregation and dual connectivity capabilities are compressed as disclosed herein. In traditional implementations, each carrier aggregation and dual connectivity combination and implementation that is supported is explicitly indicated in the message. As disclosed herein, rather than listing explicit combinations, the UE capability message can be compressed by instead listing boundary values of several different parameters which can be used by the network to derive the carrier aggregation and dual connectivity combinations. The UE capability message can also list the boundary values for LTE (Long Term Evolution), NR (New Radio, or 5G), and Dual Connectivity separately within the message to reduce ambiguity.
