Abstract: A IO handler receives a write command including write data that is associated with a LBA. The IO handler reserves a deduplication ID according to the LBA with which the write data is associated, within the scope of each LBA, each deduplication ID is unique. The IO handler computes a hash value for the write data. In case a deduplication database does not include an entry which is associated with the hash value, the IO handler: provides a reference key which is a combination of the LBA and the deduplication ID; adds to the deduplication database an entry which is uniquely associated with the hash value and references the reference key; and adds to a virtual address database an entry, including: the reference key; a reference indicator indicating if there is an entry that is associated with the present entry; and a pointer to where the write data is stored.

Abstract: Reliable speaker-based clustering of speech utterances allows improved speaker recognition and speaker-based speech segmentation. According to at least one example embodiment, an iterative bottom-up speaker-based clustering approach employs voiceprints of speech utterances, such as i-vectors. At each iteration, a clustering confidence score in terms of Silhouette Width Criterion (SWC) values is evaluated, and a pair of nearest clusters is merged into a single cluster. The pair of nearest clusters merged is determined based on a similarity score indicative of similarity between voiceprints associated with different clusters. A final clustering pattern is then determined as a set of clusters associated with an iteration corresponding to the highest clustering confidence score evaluated. The SWC used may further be a modified SWC enabling detection of an early stop of the iterative approach.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing feedback on channel conditions in a wireless telecommunications system are described. The wireless telecommunications system comprises a base station arranged to communicate with a plurality of terminals device using frequencies spanning a system frequency bandwidth, wherein at least one terminal device is a reduced capability terminal device comprising a tuneable transceiver configured to receive downlink transmissions from the base station using only a restricted frequency bandwidth which is smaller than and within the system frequency bandwidth. The base station transmits configuration signalling to the reduced capability terminal device to indicate the reduced capability terminal device should measure channel conditions for different frequencies. The terminal device responds by sequentially tuning its transceiver to different frequency locations for the restricted frequency bandwidth within the system frequency bandwidth and making measurements of channel conditions at the different frequency locations to provide a corresponding plurality of measurements of channel conditions. The reduced capability terminal device is configured to communicate information derived from the measurements of channel conditions to the base station. The information may comprise an indication of the measured channel conditions for the different frequency locations, or an indication of one or more frequency locations for which the corresponding measurement of channel conditions meet a pre-defined selection criterion. The base station subsequently schedules downlink transmissions for the terminal device in a manner that takes account of the information received from the terminal device.
