  • Publication number: 20230362039
    Abstract: This application discloses a neural network-based channel estimation method and a communication apparatus. The method may be implemented in the following steps: obtaining first location information of a first communication apparatus; processing the first location information by using a neural network, to obtain first channel information, where the first channel information is information about a radio channel between the first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus; and performing communication based on the first channel information. The neural network is used to estimate channel information based on location information. This can avoid channel estimation based on a pilot signal, reduce overheads of the pilot signal, and improve efficiency and accuracy of estimating the channel information.

  • Publication number: 20230336436
    Abstract: This application provides a method for federated learning. A communication apparatus triggers, by setting a threshold (a time threshold and/or a count threshold), fusion of a local model sent by a terminal device, to generate a global model, and when a fusion weight of the local model is designed, a data feature included in the local model of the terminal device, a lag degree, and a utilization degree of a data feature of a sample set of the corresponding terminal device are comprehensively considered, so that a problem of low training efficiency caused by a synchronization requirement for model uploading versions in a synchronous system can be avoided, and a problem of unstable convergence and a poor generalization capability caused by an “update upon reception” principle of an asynchronous system can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 11512407
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a device for laser-assisted electrochemical composite deposition using a rifling-type hollow rotating electrode, which relate to the field of micro-composite processing in special processing technologies. A center of a laser beam is allowed to pass through a rifling-type hollow rotating electrode and focus onto a cathode substrate. When the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode is rotated at a constant speed, an electrodeposition solution rotates in the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode and generates a certain centripetal force to improve the precision and localization of deposition. During the process of the present invention, an internal rifling structure of the electrode is rotated at a high speed so that the deposition solution generates a centripetal force. The internal rifling structure and an external helical structure of the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode make the deposition solution move upward to form a “self-circulation” system.

  • Patent number: 11306408
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for microelectrodeposition through a laser assisted flexible following tool electrode. Localization of electrodeposition and dimensional precision of members are enhanced by using the flexible following tool electrode to restrict a dispersion region of an electric field and a reaction region of electrodeposition, and a complex-shaped member can be deposited by controlling a motion path of the flexible following tool electrode. Since a laser has a high power density, introducing laser irradiation changes an electrode state in a radiated region, accelerates ion diffusion and electron transfer speeds, and increases a deposition rate, thus reducing defects such as pitting and cracking in a deposit, enhancing deposition quality, and achieving fabrication of a micro-part by a synergistic action of both electrochemical energy and laser energy.
