Abstract

A method for long-horizon task planning in an embodied agent environment parses a current observation using a scene parser to generate a scene graph processed by a Graph Neural Network embedder to produce a current scene embedding vector. A lookahead simulator simulates execution of valid actions using a Planning Domain Definition Language-based forward dynamics model to produce action-observation pairs provided to a Large Language Model agent. An experience retriever compares the current scene embedding vector against an experience memory bank and, upon finding a match within a predefined threshold, retrieves a relevant experience comprising a goal, a textual description of a matched state, and a ground-truth action sequence. A loop detector identifies previously visited states and generates a loop warning. The Large Language Model agent processes a structured prompt comprising these components to select and execute an action, while a state-transition graph builder maintains a memory graph of state transitions.

Abstract

A method performed by an encoder that processes consecutive groups of pictures (GoPs). One or more reference frames are selected from each GoP, and remaining frames are designated as non-reference frames. The reference frames are patchified and encoded to generate discrete reference latent features. A subset of discrete reference tokens is selected from a discrete video token codebook, and a reference token mask is generated. The latent features are mapped to the selected tokens to produce discrete reference token indices, which are partially masked. Token index differences between consecutive GoPs are determined. Masked token indices are predicted using a token prediction network. A text description associated with the GoPs is encoded into tokenized textual latent indices. Reconstructed non-reference frames are generated based on predicted discrete tokens and textual latents. Residuals between original and reconstructed non-reference frames are encoded together with token information for transmission toward a decoder.

Abstract

An efficient structure and methodology are provided for coherent signal processing in optical access networks. Differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) modulation is used for coherent passive optical networks. The use of DPSK modulation can reduce the complexity of a receiver of an optical network unit by improving the receiver tolerance to frequency offsets. A system can comprise an optical line terminal having a coherent transmitter configured to transmit an optical signal over an optical fiber channel to a coherent receiver in an optical network unit of a passive optical network, and a DPSK modulator coupled to the coherent transmitter to code the optical signal transmitted. The coherent receiver of the optical network unit of the passive optical network can be coupled to a DPSK demodulator.

Abstract

An apparatus for an optical network unit (ONU) in a point-to-multipoint optical access system is disclosed. The apparatus includes front-end circuitry with a local oscillator. The front-end circuitry is configured to receive spectrum assignment information from an optical line terminal (OLT). The circuitry determines a downstream central frequency based on the received information. The local oscillator is adjusted to obtain an updated frequency offset. The apparatus decodes a downstream optical transmission from the OLT using the adjusted frequency offset. The spectrum assignment information may include details about subcarriers and central frequencies for both downstream and upstream directions. The apparatus may receive this information through an extended bandwidth map, a separate spectrum map message, or a physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) message. The apparatus enables precise tuning for coherent signal processing and improves data recovery in optical access networks.

Abstract

User Equipments (UEs) may be assigned a set of aggregated component carriers for downlink carrier aggregation and/or carrier selection. Some UEs may be incapable of transmitting uplink signals over all component carriers in their assigned set of aggregated component carriers. In such scenarios, a UE may need to perform SRS switching in order to transmit SRS symbols over all of the component carriers. Embodiments of this disclosure provide various techniques for facilitating SRS switching. For example, a radio resource control (RRC) message may be used to signal a periodic SRS configuration parameter. As another example, a downlink control indication (DCI) message may be used to signal an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter. Many other examples are also provided.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating distributed circuit configurations aimed at achieving a target performance goal for a distributed circuit. The method involves a neural network receiving a constant input for a circuit design with fixed dimensions. The neural network outputs a set of probability distributions from which sample circuit configurations are generated. Each configuration corresponds to a unique set of dimensions and is mapped to a physical representation of a potential distributed circuit. Feedback from an evaluator is received, based on the error between the target performance goal and the calculated performance of each potential circuit. The neural network is updated using a statistical loss derived from these evaluations, and the process is repeated until a circuit with the target performance is achieved. An apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable medium are also provided.

Abstract

A distance measurement system and device leverage a laser emitting pulses toward a target and utilize single photon detection sensors to detect reflected photons. The system incorporates coincidence detection circuitry with a configurable threshold to identify simultaneous photon events within a specific time frame. Photon detection processing circuitry, including tracking circuitry with quantile tracking and photon counting capabilities, processes these events. The tracking circuitry may be structured with multi-stage configurations, capable of performing quantile value calculations or photon counting over defined gating windows. Iterative control circuits refine tracking results throughout transient distributions or around transient distribution peaks. The processed photon detection data is output on a per-pixel basis. The system enables precise distance measurements by managing and analyzing photon detection events through advanced quantile tracking and photon counting techniques.

Abstract

A system and method for designing multistage circuits. The method includes creating a library of single-stage circuits, each represented by a subgraph, and classifying these circuits into sets based on their input and output connections (110). A target reward for a desired multistage circuit configuration is established. The method involves generating sample configurations for the multistage circuit using a weight resonant network that operates based on probability distributions. These configurations are evaluated using a circuit simulator and multistage circuit evaluator that provide feedback, including loss functions, to refine the weight resonant network. Parameters of the network are updated based on this feedback to optimize the final circuit design (115). Additional aspects include utilizing a graph convolutional network to transfer circuit design knowledge to different topologies and technologies (120).
