  • Publication number: 20240080116
    Abstract: A method for determining a quantity of passive inter-modulation sources. A quantity of passive inter-modulation sources of a multi-antenna device is obtained. An interference signal that is excited by a sounding signal and that is from a passive inter-modulation source is received. Singular value decomposition is performed on a first matrix corresponding to the interference signal. A quantity of passive inter-modulation sources is determined based on a result of the singular value decomposition. In this way, the quantity of passive inter-modulation sources of the multi-antenna device is directly determined by performing operations including signal receiving and sending and calculation of the multi-antenna device, to implement convenient, accurate, and secure detection of information about the quantity of the passive inter-modulation sources of the multi-antenna device.

  • Patent number: 10831517
    Abstract: A method and associated system. In response to a request to deploy a virtual machine, a virtual machine resource usage pattern having attributes matching a subset of attributes in than ordered sequence of attributes is selected from at least one virtual machine resource usage pattern stored in a virtual machine resource usage pattern library, based on an ordering of the attributes in the ordered sequence of attributes, wherein the virtual machine resource usage pattern library stores usage patterns for virtual machines previously deployed. A node on which the virtual machine is to be deployed is selected, based on the selected virtual machine resource usage pattern, and additionally based on either available resources of the plurality of nodes or predicted runtime resource requirements of the virtual machine to be deployed. The virtual machine is configured for being deployed on the selected node. The virtual machine is deployed on the selected node.

  • Patent number: 9846590
    Abstract: A method and associated system. A request to deploy a virtual machine in a computing environment is received. The request identifies an ordered sequence of attributes that the virtual machine to be deployed includes. In response to the request, a virtual machine resource usage pattern having attributes matching a subset of attributes in the ordered sequence of attributes is selected, based on an ordering of the attributes in the ordered sequence of attributes. A node on which the virtual machine is to be deployed is selected from two or more nodes in the computing environment, based on the selected virtual machine resource usage pattern and predicted runtime resource requirements of the virtual machine to be deployed.
