  • Patent number: 11632677
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed spectrum access within an area or venue. In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum allocated by a Federal or commercial SAS (Spectrum Access System) to a managed content delivery network that includes one or more wireless access nodes (e.g., CBSDs and APs) in data communication with a controller. In one variant, the controller dynamically allocates (i) spectrum within the area or venue within CBRS bands, and (ii) MSO users or subscribers to CBRS bands or WLAN (e.g., public ISM) bands in to manage interference between the coexisting networks, and maximize user experience. In another variant, the controller cooperates with a provisioning server to implement a client device application program or “app” on MSO user or subscriber client devices which enables inter-RAT access.

  • Publication number: 20230111701
    Abstract: A secure keyboard resource executed in a network device detects a user input, and generates a user input data structure representing the user input relative to input options presented to the user, the user input data structure based on the secure keyboard resource identifying a position of the user input relative to the input options. The secure keyboard resource sends the user input data structure to one or more executable destination resources, having requested supply of the user input data structure responsive to a user selection, only via a corresponding data path providing the destination resource with access to the user input data structure, for execution of a service by the one or more executable destination resources based on the user input data structure. The secure keyboard resource thus minimizes spying by limiting access of the user input data structure to the destination resource via the data path.
