IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2016-07-18
Abstract: A method of switching resource pools, implemented on a device, is provided. The device is arranged to transmit according to a first resource pool. A second resource pool is sensed. The device switches from the first resource pool to the second resource pool, based on a result of the sensing, wherein the device is arranged to transmit according to the second resource pool. Information relating to the second resource pool may be received by the device and sensing of the second resource pool may take place according to this received information. A cell or zone change may be determined and switching from the first to the second resource pool is based on the result of sensing the second resource pool and determining the cell or zone change.

Patent GB-2555431-A (GB)
Title: A method for analysing media content
Inventor: Francesco Cricri
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 2016-10-27
Abstract: Analyzing media content, e.g. for prediction of future video frames, by means of convolution layers 601-603 of encoder 600 and transpose-convolutional, i.e. de-convolution layers 611 613 of decoder 650, where the layers are laterally connected via recurrent skip connections 621-623. The convolution layers receive media content, e.g. frame 1 to t, and perform feature extraction to output layer-specific feature maps. The maps are transmitted to the de-convolution layers via the lateral connections such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers 621-623. A reconstructed media content, e.g. a predicted video next frame t+1 is generated. Frame prediction is improved because lower-level information is used in addition to higher-level object class information, to reconstruct the data from details and parts of objects. A discriminator can be used to determine whether the reconstructed media content is real. The invention can use: deep learning models, e.g. artificial neural networks; and dense, fully-connected, softmax, or classification layers.
