Improvements in computer-based energy asset management technologies are provided. An energy asset management system with a data summarization mechanism can perform computations, for example relating to controlling the assets, which may include electric vehicles (EVs), with fewer computing resources. Further, the system can perform computations on large datasets where such computations would have otherwise been impractical with conventional systems due to the size of the data. A large dataset relating to the energy asset management system is reduced using the summarization mechanism, and a computation model is trained using the reduced dataset. Energy assets in the system may be controlled using the trained computational model. Assets may include EVs, and controlling the EVs may be based on generated predictions relating to charging interactions. The predictions may be based on road traffic information and/or weather related information. Further, the computational model may include an optimizer for scheduling charging interactions of EVs.

Overlay and underlay carriers are used to transmit traffic over a cellular network for a call associated with a mobile terminal. A method involves determining which one of the underlay carrier and the overlay carrier is to carry the traffic as a function of a resource parameter associated with a resource for transmitting the traffic and a mobility parameter of the mobile terminal. In some implementations, the method is applied at for example a base station to a plurality of calls associated with various mobile terminals within a cell and the calls are assigned to the underlay carrier and the overlay carrier using an optimization routine that optimizes a function associated with the capacity while imposing a constraint such as for example a constraint on a hand-off rate between the carriers.
