Title: High frequency amplifier
Inventor: EIGO KUWATA
IPC: H03F1/22
Filed: 2017-02-22
Abstract: This high frequency amplifier is configured such that, when a potential difference V1 between a source terminal of an E-type FET (11) and a source terminal of a D-type FET (12) becomes larger than a threshold voltage Vth, a protection circuit (13) starts an operation of reducing the potential difference V1 so that the potential difference V1 becomes smaller than the threshold voltage Vth. Consequently, even in the cases where the signal to be amplified is an RF signal, the E-type FET (11) can be prevented from breaking.

Title: A distributed network traffic data decomposition method
Inventor: CHAOYUN ZHANG
IPC: H04W28/16
Filed: 2020-03-17
Abstract: Providing services over a 5G mobile service network requires flexibility in resource management. Network operators may deploy network slicing whereby it is necessary to obtain an estimate of service level demands in order to provision capacity or resources to each network slice. Typical methods such as deep packet inspection or flow-level classification are not suitable to provide accurate estimates at a frequency accurate enough for prediction of a future per-service traffic consumption. The invention provides a method of mobile traffic decomposition (MTD) i.e. breaking down of aggregate traffic time-series data into separate time-series data for each individual service. The method comprises traffic snapshot pre-processing to aggregate mobile network traffic data for use in a neural network which provides accurate future per-service traffic consumption information. The pre-processing accommodates any antenna deployment layout with minimum loss of geographical information. The neural network may be based on 2D convolutions or a 3D Deformable Convolutional Neural Network (3D-DefCNN), which handles spatial distortion in the input data due to irregular radio access deployment and coverage, and exploits spatiotemporal features hidden in traffic aggregates. By operating on total traffic volumes the approach is suitable for Network Slice as a Service (NSaaS) models.
