Abstract: Existing approaches to security within network, for instance oneM2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be “at rest,” such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an integrity perspective.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling proximity services to be delivered as part of an application service and/or for providing tailored services and/or a differential quality of service (QoS) to a flow may be disclosed. For example, a temporary service name between an application and a server such as a D2D server may be established such that a UE and/or network may execute such a service at a later time without later involvement by the application and/or without exchanging credentials for the application with the network and vice versa.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving a query of a partitioned table, the query including a first index predicate associated with a first partition key column; determining that one or more of the query is missing a second index predicate and the first index predicate is unusable for index probing; responsive to determining that one or more of the query is missing the second index predicate and the first index predicate is unusable for index probing, generating one or more synthesized predicates used to process the query using an index scan.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting a position of an exhaust valve that regulates engine exhaust noise. In one example, the position of the exhaust valve is adjusted according to a road grade estimate. The road grade estimate may be based on a vehicle's present position on a road or a position that is a distance away from the vehicle's present position.

Abstract: IoT service layer capabilities may be employed to automate and simplify the service enrollment process for IoT service subscribers/enrollees. These capabilities enable virtualization of a service subscriber and the physical IoT devices, applications, data and authorized users of the subscriber into a software profile that is representative of the subscriber. Once virtualized, a service subscriber may then delegate the complexities and burden of service enrollment to an automated IoT service enrollment software function.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. Data specifying a post-install activity is received from a provider of an application. An opportunity is identified to provide third-party content to a user. A likelihood is determined that the user will perform the specified post-install activity based on one or more attributes of the user and attributes of users that have previously performed the specified post-install activity in the application. A selection value is adjusted for third-party content that identifies the application based on the determined likelihood, wherein the selection value increases as the likelihood increases. The third-party content identifying the application is selected based on the adjusted selection value. The third-party content identifying the application is distributed to a client device of the user.

Abstract: Various embodiments may include integrated circuits (ICs) and methods for designing an integrated circuit (IC), such as a system-on-chip (SOC). Embodiments include methods for planning and producing ICs without communication channels, also referred to as channel-less ICs. Embodiments may include overlay hard macros that support routing and communication design without dedicated communication channels being needed between functional hard macros, such as cores of a SOC. Various embodiments may include an IC in which one or more interconnect hard macros and wires connecting a first functional hard macro, a second functional hard macro and the one or more interconnect hard macros are located within a third functional hard macro. In some embodiments, no communication channel may be present between the first functional hard macro, the second functional hard macro, and the third functional hard macro.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device of a network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request associated with enabling the UE to access a network, wherein the request includes a first routing indicator. The device may identify an authentication manager, of the network, that is mapped to the first routing indicator in an entry of a routing table of the network. The device may route the request to the authentication manager of the network to permit the authentication manager to authenticate the UE. The device may purge, based on the request being routed to the authentication manager, the entry to remove the first routing indicator from the routing table. The device may store, after purging the entry, a second routing indicator in the entry to map the second routing indicator to the authentication manager, wherein the second routing indicator is different from the first routing indicator.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for vehicular navigation are presented. Some configurations include computing a first attitude of a vehicle with respect to a reference frame at a first epoch; based on measurement data from an inertial navigation system (INS) of the vehicle, computing an attitude of the INS at a second epoch that is subsequent to the first epoch; based on the computed attitude of the INS and the computed first attitude of the vehicle, computing a second attitude of the vehicle at the second epoch; applying a constraint to the computed second attitude of the vehicle to produce an updated second attitude of the vehicle; and based on the updated second attitude of the vehicle, computing an updated attitude of the INS. Applications relating to road vehicular (e.g., automobile) use are described.

Abstract: Described herein are complete lifecycle management processes for IoT/M2M devices, which are commissioned and de-commissioned in a given system without requiring a user/human administrator. A delegated life-cycle management process is described, wherein devices rely upon a delegatee, which may have more computing and battery resources than the devices. Further, a Trust Enabling Infrastructure (TEI) is described herein, which may belong to a different trusted domain than the given device and its delegatee. A device in response to powering on for the first time, registers with a trust enabling infrastructure (TEI) and generates one or more credentials based on the registration with the TEI so as to define a trust relationship with the TEL After the registration, the device receives one or more security components and policies from the TEI and installs the one or more security components so as to define a secure environment.
