Patent number: 11451480Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to reducing network congestion by analyzing data using a lightweight artificial intelligence (AI) layer prior to transmission are described. An AI model may predictively select data that need not be transmitted and, in some embodiments, further process data to be transmitted. As a result, the total size and amount of data transmitted over the network can be reduced, while the data needs of the receiving device can still be met. For example, data generated by a source application may be received and input into a predictive model, which may generate a prediction output for the data. The data may be pre-processed using a strategy selected based on the prediction output, and the pre-processed data may be transmitted over a network to a server.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Gil Golov

Patent number: 11452132Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may receive a set of candidate resources, which may be used for transmission. The WTRU may periodically perform CCA on a channel (e.g., before transmitting on the channel). When the channel is determined to be free, the WTRU may determine a resource for transmission from the candidate resources. The resource may be determined based on the time remaining in the time period. For example, when the time remaining in the time period is shorter, the WTRU may determine to transmit on a resource that comprises more frequency resources. The WTRU may determine a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) scheme based on the number of frequency resources. The WTRU may send a transmission on the resource, which may include a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS). The DM-RS may indicate the resource used from transmission to a receiver of the transmission.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: IDAC Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Janet A.
