A targeted advertising system uses a machine learning tool to select an asset for a current user of a user equipment device, for example, to select an ad for delivery to a current user of a digital set top box in a cable network. The machine learning tool first operates in a learning mode to receive user inputs and develop evidence that can characterize multiple users of the user equipment device audience. In a working mode, the machine learning tool processes current user inputs to match a current user to one of the identified users of that user equipment device audience. Fuzzy logic may be used to improve development of the user characterizations, as well as matching of the current user to those developed characterizations. In this manner, targeting of assets can be implemented not only based on characteristics of a household but based on a current user within that household.

In a wireless telecommunications network, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) scheme is applied to data to encode it. The encoded data transmitted in the uplink using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) frame structure including a cyclic prefix (CP). The CDMA encoded data may be time multiplexed with Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) transmissions. The CDMA transmissions may be used for relatively small payloads, such as those associated with voice traffic and control signals, and the SC-FDMA transmissions used for higher date rate transmissions. This enables autonomous transmission, without scheduling, for smaller payloads. A transmitter includes a selector 3 for performing time multiplexing in the uplink, the required mode being indicated by the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) ID. A first branch 1 carries SC-FDMA data and a second branch 2 carries data to be transmitted as a CDMA scheme. A CAZAC code may be used in encoding the CDMA data.

Extensible Multi-Dimensional Framework (EMDF) is a system engineering framework for designing, developing and managing enterprise information technology systems. It includes two parts: multi-dimensional architecture framework (MDAF) and three-dimensional unified process (3DUP). MDAF includes comprehensive concepts for modeling an enterprise information technology system. 3DUP provides an iterative system development process. EMDF addresses an enterprise information technology system as a single entity. By projecting this entity on intertwined MDAF dimensions through the 3DUP lifecycle, all logical or physical elements encompassed in the entity will be exposed and captured in well-organized artifacts defined in MDAF. These elements are then prioritized and scheduled in a set of agile iterations. The iterations will be planned in parallel projects implemented by multiple development teams. During a long-term system development lifecycle, some elements may change. The dimensions included in MDAF provide a flexible framework to adjust system architectures, iterations and projects in order to adapt to such changes. The key deliverables of EMDF include an adaptive-to-change quality-focused architecture, optimistic agile iterations, and a market-centric business-driven risk-mitigating process.

The present invention provides for flow and congestion control mechanisms in accordance with a Reliable Message protocol for Web Services (RM-WS). For flow control, one endpoint informs another endpoint of its available buffer size by including buffer size information in response messages. The response messages, typically RM-WS infrastructure messages, are then used to determine an upper limit on the number of messages that can be sent to the acceptor in order to prevent resending messages due to buffer overrun. In the case of congestion control, embodiments provide for increasing the number of in-flight messages until a failure point is found. The last successful rate below the failure point is the closest known point to the optimum point. Example embodiments then reset and try again raising the rate back to the last known good point and fine tuning from there using an algorithm that asymptotes the optimum rate.
