Patent Analytics Based on Feature Vector Space Model: A Case of IoT
The number of approved patents worldwide increases rapidly each year, which
requires new patent analytics to efficiently mine the valuable information
attached to these patents. Vector space model (VSM) represents documents as
high-dimensional vectors, where each dimension corresponds to a unique term.
While originally proposed for information retrieval systems, VSM has also seen
wide applications in patent analytics, and used as a fundamental tool to map
patent documents to structured data. However, VSM method suffers from several
limitations when applied to patent analysis tasks, such as loss of
sentence-level semantics and curse-of-dimensionality problems. In order to
address the above limitations, we propose a patent analytics based on feature
vector space model (FVSM), where the FVSM is constructed by mapping patent
documents to feature vectors extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNN).
The applications of FVSM for three typical patent analysis tasks, i.e., patents
similarity comparison, patent clustering, and patent map generation are
discussed. A case study using patents related to Internet of Things (IoT)
technology is illustrated to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of
FVSM. The proposed FVSM can be adopted by other patent analysis studies to
replace VSM, based on which various big data learning tasks can be performed
A Two-Stage Allocation Scheme for Delay-Sensitive Services in Dense Vehicular Networks
Driven by the rapid development of wireless communication system, more and
more vehicular services can be efficiently supported via vehicle-to-everything
(V2X) communications. In order to allocate radio resource with the reasonable
implementation complexity in dense urban intersection, a two-stage allocation
algorithm is proposed in this paper, whose main objective is to minimize delay
and ensure reliability. In particular, as for the first stage, the allocation
policy is based on traffic density information (TDI), which is different from
utilizing channel state information (CSI) and queue state information (QSI) in
the second stage. Moreover, in order to reflect the influence of TDI on delay,
a macroscopic vehicular mobility model is employed in this paper. Simulation
results show that the proposed algorithm can acquire an asymptotically optimal
performance with the acceptable complexity
Soft-Defined Heterogeneous Vehicular Network: Architecture and Challenges
Heterogeneous Vehicular NETworks (HetVNETs) can meet various
quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for intelligent transport system (ITS)
services by integrating different access networks coherently. However, the
current network architecture for HetVNET cannot efficiently deal with the
increasing demands of rapidly changing network landscape. Thanks to the
centralization and flexibility of the cloud radio access network (Cloud-RAN),
soft-defined networking (SDN) can conveniently be applied to support the
dynamic nature of future HetVNET functions and various applications while
reducing the operating costs. In this paper, we first propose the multi-layer
Cloud RAN architecture for implementing the new network, where the multi-domain
resources can be exploited as needed for vehicle users. Then, the high-level
design of soft-defined HetVNET is presented in detail. Finally, we briefly
discuss key challenges and solutions for this new network, corroborating its
feasibility in the emerging fifth-generation (5G) era
