Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to schedule virtual machine (VM) migrations by analyzing VM migration behavior; building a simulation tool to predict time for multiple migrations under different links conditions and VM characteristics; determining a predetermined bandwidth sharing policy for each network link; applying a bin-packing technique to organize bandwidth resources from all network links, and allocating the links to different migration tasks.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to process an optical signal with a pre-processing module to populate a non-linearity compensation look-up table based on a set of predetermined rules in a non-real-time off-line mode; and a transmitter applying said predetermined rules in real-time to multiple channel input data to generate a real-time symbol pattern, searching the look-up table with the real-time symbol pattern to determine a non-linearity compensation output, and modulating the optical signal with the compensation output.
Abstract:
A generic centralized, software-defined networking configuration for connecting network is defined as a generic multi-layer topology network entities interconnected either vertically or horizontally regardless of the employed network topology/graph). This centralized configuration enables establishment of a connection between any two networking entities by 1) bypassing intermediate protocol layers and 2) eliminating any handshaking between peer elements of the same layer. The centralized software-defined controller notifies in parallel all involved network entities along a connection path to take all necessary actions (i.e. reconfiguration) to establish the new connection. The centralized controller has authority to control only entities that are software-defined SD.
Abstract:
A method for uplink power control implemented in a wireless communications system including one or more user equipment, a serving base station, and at least one neighboring base station is disclosed. The method comprises measuring, at each user equipment, pathloss, sending, from each user equipment to the serving base station, the pathloss, and determining, at the serving base station, uplink transmit power based on the pathloss. Other methods, systems, and apparatuses also are disclosed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for multi-objective energy management of micro-grids. A two-layer control method is used. In the first layer which is the advisory layer, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) method is used as a long term scheduler. The result of this layer will be used as optimality constraints in the second layer. In the second layer, a real-time controller guarantees a second-by-second balance between supply and demand subject to the constraints provided by the advisory layer.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for enabling the rectification of deteriorated channel conditions on a communication link are described. In particular, the methods and systems can employ mechanisms that prioritize beams in accordance with signal quality measures, direction of departures of transmission beams and/or direction of arrivals of reception beams to address variable channel conditions.
Abstract:
A method for fine-grained image classification on an image includes automatically segmenting one or more objects of interest prior to classification; and combining segmented and original image features before performing final classification.
Abstract:
A communications method implemented in a transmission point (TP) used in a coordinated multipoint transmission and reception (CoMP) system is disclosed. The communications method comprises transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), attributers for up to four indicators indicating at least physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource element (RE) mapping, and transmitting, to the UE, one of the four indicators, each of which is conveyed in 2 bits, wherein the four indicators comprises ‘00’, ‘01’, ‘10’, and ‘11’ corresponding to a first set, a second set, a third set, and a fourth set of parameters, respectively. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method includes configuring a shared library, stored in a memory, to be loaded into applications to intercept graphics processing unit (GPU) computation requests for different types of workload kernals corresponding to the applications. The method further includes generating a power prediction and a performance prediction for at least one candidate kernel combination for execution on a GPU responsive to the GPU computations requests. The at least one candidate kernel combination pertains to at least two of the workload kernals. The method also includes rendering a decision of whether to execute the at least one candidate kernel combination or to execute the at least two of the workload kernals pertaining thereto separately, based on the power prediction and the performance prediction.
Abstract:
A system for evolutionary analytics supports three dimensions (analytical workflows, the users, and the data) by rewriting workflows to be more efficient by using answers materialized as part of previous workflow execution runs in the system.
