Method For Selecting A Radio Access Technology Based On User Activity Context During Network Acquisition, Edison Chen Oct 2025

Method For Selecting A Radio Access Technology Based On User Activity Context During Network Acquisition, Edison Chen

Defensive Publications Series

When a user equipment (UE), such as a smartphone, wearable device, or other computing device, recovers from a lack of coverage or is switched on, it may default to searching for a previously used, potentially lower-speed radio access technology (RAT). This can lead to data buffering and latency if a user initiates a high-speed data activity, such as online gaming or video conferencing, as the device may then need to perform a subsequent handover to a higher-speed RAT. A described method can address this by allowing the UE to first determine a user's activity context upon recovering network access. By …

A Relaxed Parsing Method For Correcting Malformed Javascript Object Notation From Language Models, Fang (Anna) Fang Oct 2025

A Relaxed Parsing Method For Correcting Malformed Javascript Object Notation From Language Models, Fang (Anna) Fang

Defensive Publications Series

Large Language Models (LLMs) may produce syntactically invalid JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) outputs, which can lead to parsing failures in downstream applications. Such errors may include, for example, unbalanced braces, improper quoting, or unescaped characters, and can stem from the probabilistic nature of text generation. A relaxed parsing method is described to address these types of issues. Rather than performing strict, token-by-token validation, the described parser can identify a key-value pair, consume characters between a separating colon and a recognized end-of-value delimiter (such as a comma or closing brace) to define a value, and then attempt to repair certain errors …
