Abstract: Radio transceiver devices and methods are disclosed herein. An example transceiver device includes at least one processor, a plurality of radio transceivers, and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the transceiver device to cause the plurality of radio transceivers to scan over each of a plurality of advertisement channels during a first period; and during a second period of the scan period, cause the plurality of radio transceivers to scan over each of the plurality of advertisement channels. The instruction may further cause the transceiver device to receive a beacon data packet including beacon information that is associated with a beacon device disposed proximate to the transceiver device, and wherein the beacon data packet includes beacon information captured during the first period and the second period.

Abstract: Devices and methods for using separate advertisement streams in a single beacon device are disclosed herein. An example beacon device includes at least one processor, a radio transceiver, and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the beacon device to receive a set of beacon information captured during a scan period. The instructions may further cause the beacon device to transmit a captured beacon stream (CBS) that includes beacon information from the set of beacon information. The instructions may further cause the beacon device to transmit, to a mobile device, a waypoint beacon stream (WBS) including a protocol data unit (PDU) data payload. The PDU data payload may encode a media access control (MAC) identifier adjacent to a type field indicative of a format for heartbeat data encoded in the PDU data payload.

Abstract: A wireless communication device may determine that a channel is to be used to transmit an advertisement. The wireless communication device may determine a channel-specific gain associated with transmitting the advertisement via the channel. The wireless communication device may generate the advertisement to include information identifying a channel identifier of the channel and the channel-specific gain. The wireless communication device may transmit the advertisement for locationing based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the advertisement.

Abstract: A method in a computing device includes: via a short-range interface of the computing device, detecting a plurality of beacons emitted by another computing device, each beacon containing an identifier of the other computing device; obtaining respective proximity indicators corresponding to the beacons; generating a first set of aggregated attributes from the proximity indicators; storing the first set of aggregated attributes in association with the identifier of the other computing device; and transmitting the first set of aggregated attributes to a server configured to detect physical proximity between the computing device and the other computing device based on the first set of aggregated attributes.

Abstract: A method and system for a column-oriented database schema for dynamic hierarchies includes a processor (200) establishing (300) a column-oriented database in a memory (202) of a network manager and configuring (304) the database with row keys, wherein each row key is concatenated with a leaf node identifier listed first, followed by the root node identifier and identifiers of intervening parent node traversing to the leaf node from the root node.

Abstract: Described is a framework system residing on a network including a plurality of services, wherein each of the services registers with the framework system, a service manager to manage each of the services which register with the framework system, the management including lifecycle management for each of the services and a communication broker to manage communication between the plurality of services.

Abstract: Methods and system are provided for delivering a software package to particular wireless computing devices (WCDs). The system includes logical sites (LSs), WCDs, and a Network Operation Center (NOC) communicatively coupled to the LSs by a network. The NOC includes a device management module (DMM) and a second DCP server. The DMM is designed to: determine that particular ones of the WCDs are currently located at and associated with a first LS based on registration information for each of the WCDs; determine characteristics of the particular ones of the WCDs currently located at and associated with the first LS; and determine particular software packages appropriate for the particular ones of the WCDs based on the characteristics of the particular ones of the WCDs currently located at the first LS. The second DCP server designed to send the particular software packages to the first DCP server.
