IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: Providing for fast allocation of additional carriers (402) in multi-carrier wireless' communication systems is de-scribed herein. By way of example, high layer protocols can be employed to allocate additional carriers to UEs (304) in a wire-less network. Additionally, management of the additional carriers can be accomplished via high, speed lower layer signaling proto-cols (206B). Management can involve acti-vating/deactivating the ' additional carriers, instructing the UE to provide carrier feed-back, monitor pilot or control channels of such carriers, or the like. Because lower layer signaling is relatively fast, activation or deactivation of the additional carrier can be quickly implemented in response to con-temporaneous changes in channel condi-tions. Thus, changes to signal quality or network loading can be determined and uti-lized to customize carrier activation in near real-time, providing efficient resource allo-cation' while conserving UE battery life.

Title: Text categorization based on co-classification learning from multilingual corpora
Inventor: AMINI MASSIH
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2010-10-21
Abstract: The present document describes a method and a system for generating classifiers from multilingual corpora including subsets of content-equivalent documents written in different languages. When the documents are translations of each other, their classifications must be substantially the same. Embodiments of the invention utilize this similarity in order to enhance the accuracy of the classification in one language based on the classification results in the other language, and vice versa. A system in accordance with the present embodiments implements a method which comprises generating a first classifier from a first subset of the corpora in a first language; generating a second classifier from a second subset of the corpora in a second language; and re-training each of the classifiers on its respective subset based on the classification results of the other classifier, until a training cost between the classification results produced by subsequent iterations reaches a local minima.
