    摘要: Various example embodiments relate to power saving in a wireless communication network and, in particular, an apparatus and a method to determine a threshold to establish whether a cell of a group of cells supporting network coverage in an area of a wireless communication network should enter or exit a power saving mode. In particular, aspects may provide: prediction circuitry configured to predict a future load in a group of cells supporting network coverage in an area of a wireless communication network based on historical load data for the group of cells; and determination circuitry configured to determine, based at least on the predicted future load, at least one threshold load value for establishing whether a cell of the group of cells should enter or exit a power saving mode.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining interaction between cells are described wherein the method includes determining or receiving a sequence of images representing manipulating first cells, in a holding space, the holding space including a functionalized wall comprising second cells, the manipulating including settling of the first cells onto the functionalized wall and applying a force on the settled first cells; detecting groups of pixels representing first cells in first images representing the settling of the first cells onto the functionalized wall; tracking locations of detected first cells in the first images; and, determining settling events, a settling event being determined if a cell in a first image is not distinguishable from background of the first image, the location in the image at which a cell settling event is detected defining a cell settling location; detecting groups of pixels representing cells in second images captured during the application of the force and tracking locations of detected cells, wherein tracked locations of a detected cell in the second images form a tracking path, the first location of the tracking path defining a pop-up event, the location in a second image at which a pop-up event is detected defining a pop-up location; and, determining detachment events based on the settling locations and based on the pop-up locations, a detachment event defining a first cell being detached from a second cell due to application of the force on the first cell, and determining information about the interaction between first and second cells based on the force applied to the first cells.

    摘要: A method for automated determination of a growth rate of an object in 3D data sets is described wherein the method may comprise: a first trained 3D detection deep neural network (DNN) determining one or more first VOIs in a current 3D data set and second VOIs in prior 3D data set, a VOI being associated with an abnormality; a registration algorithm, preferably a registration algorithm based on a trained 3D registration DNN, determining a mapping between the one or more first and second VOIs, the mapping providing for a first VOI in the current 3D data set a corresponding second VOI in the prior 3D data set; a second trained 3D segmentation DNN segmenting voxels of a first VOI into first voxels representing the abnormality and voxels of a corresponding second VOI into second voxels representing the abnormality; and, determining a first volume of the abnormality on the basis of the first voxels and a second volume of the abnormality on the basis of the second voxels and using the first and second volume to determine a growth rate.

    摘要: In a (5G CBRS) network having a (CBSD) base station communicating with a (SAS) bandwidth manager via a cable modem (CM), the CM maintains a long timer and a short timer for each bandwidth allocation to the CBSD. When the CM receives a heartbeat message from the CBSD, the CM re-starts the long and short timers and transmits the heartbeat message to the SAS. When the short timer expires, the CM re-starts the short timer and transmits a copy of the stored heartbeat message to the SAS. When the long timer expires, the CM stops transmitting a copy of the stored heartbeat message to the SAS. In this way, the CM effectively extends the time limit before the SAS will de-allocate bandwidth from the CBSD to handle situations where the CBSD is temporarily unable to send heartbeat messages to the SAS even though the CBSD still needs the allocated bandwidth.

    摘要: A casino having a nodal network of wireless transceivers. Each bank of gaming machines has a transceiver within wireless communication range of at least one other transceiver. A casino patron uses a casino app running on a mobile device to communicate with the external network cloud via the nodal network from any location within the casino at which the mobile device is within wireless communication range of a connected transceiver. The mobile device transmits to the connected transceiver an outgoing message that is propagated wirelessly through the nodal network to the external network cloud via a terminal transceiver. The mobile device receives from the connected transceiver an incoming message that has been transmitted from the external network cloud to the terminal transceiver and then propagated wirelessly through the nodal network to the connected transceiver.
