Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for radio direction finding with an iterative ambiguity resolution algorithm. An antenna array may receive an emitted signal. Two or more phase shifts in the received emitted signal may be determined between two or more pairs of antennas of the antenna array. A set of possible expected phase shifts may be generated from at least two of the measured phase shift. To determine the proper one of the set of expected phase shifts, a set of initial guesses for parameters of a fitting equation may be generated and then each may be optimized to determine optimized fitting parameters. From these optimized fitting parameters a direction of arrival of the emitted signal may be determined.

Abstract: FlowSpec is a mechanism for distributing rules to routers in a network. Such rules may be used, for example, to drop traffic associated with a distributed denial of service attack. However, a malformed or incorrect FlowSpec announcement may, if distributed in the network, cause legitimate traffic to be dropped, degrading the service experienced by legitimate users. As such, systems and methods for avoiding the distribution of malformed FlowSpec announcements are provided.

Abstract: Reducing harmonics in a radio transmitter can involve using an electronically tunable harmonic filter (ETHF) in a transmit path at the output of an RF power amplifier stage to reduce harmonic signal components in the RF transmit signal. At least one filter characteristic of the ETHF is selectively controlled using one or more RF switch. The one or more RF switches that are used to control the ETHF can include a CMOS-SOI and/or a MEMs type of switch. Various filter characteristics of the ETHF can be controlled including a bandwidth and/or a center frequency of the ETHF.

Abstract: Method and systems for detecting and mitigating a malicious bot. Threat information is obtained, the threat information identifying one or more indicators of compromise (IOC) corresponding to suspected or known malicious network traffic. A control list (CL) corresponding to the threat information is generated, the CL describing rules for identifying network flows to be logged in a network log. The network log identifying the network flows is obtained and a suspect network flow identified by both the threat information and the network log is identified. An address corresponding to the suspect network flow is identified and the address is correlated with a user identifier. A notification is issued to a user associated with the user identifier, the notification indicating a suspected existence of a malicious bot.

Abstract: Centralized profile-based operational monitoring and control of remote computing devices. A controller device receives, from a first customer-premises device (CPD) associated with a first local area network, at a first time a first temperature value that quantifies a temperature of the first CPD, the first CPD having a plurality of different energy consumption operating modes. The controller device, based on an attribute of the first CPD, accesses a first CPD profile of a plurality of different CPD profiles to determine a preferred CPD temperature range. The controller device determines that the first temperature value is outside of the preferred CPD temperature range, and sends an instruction that instructs the first CPD to transition from a current energy consumption operating mode to a first reduced energy consumption operating mode based at least in part on the first temperature value.

Abstract: Graphical descriptor data associated with a particular video asset may include data for one or more graphical descriptor images and graphical descriptor metadata related to each graphical descriptor image.

Abstract: Control information may be used to schedule communications between a wireless device and a base station. The wireless device may monitor control channels associated with one or more cells to receive the control information.

Abstract: A computing device may be configured to receive a content asset and to determine whether the content asset comprises one or more triggers. The trigger may be a word, phrase, or passcode that alerts a voice activated device to the presence of a voice command and may serve as an instruction to the voice activated device to cause execution of the voice command. In response to determining that the content asset comprises one or more triggers, the computing device may be configured to insert one or more signal markers into the content asset at a location corresponding to the one or more triggers, and to cause transmission and/or presentation of the content asset with the one or more signal markers. The signal markers may cause a voice activated device to ignore a voice command in the content asset, despite the presence of one or more triggers.

Abstract: Aspects discussed herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for providing content distribution via a breadth-first approach for peer-to-peer file sharing in a temporary ad hoc mesh network. For example, a peer-to-peer orchestrator may receive requests for the same asset from multiple mobile devices, determine which of the mobile devices are likely to travel along the same route at the same time, group them together and cause transmission of different asset parts of the requested asset to different mobile devices in the group. If the mobile devices in the group lose connection with the peer-to-peer orchestrator, they may form an ad hoc mesh network and retrieve asset parts from one another. If the group reconnects with a peer-to-peer orchestrator, additional asset parts of the asset may be transmitted to the group and the process may repeat so that each mobile device may obtain each of the asset parts.

The playback device may adjust the output of the video content until an actual output time of a video fragment is substantially the same as the scheduled output time for the video fragment.

Abstract: Devices including a wireless receiver, e.g., indoor CBSDs, in a local network, e.g. a campus network, monitor for wireless signals conveying synchronization information. Different devices in the local area network may detect wireless signals conveying synchronization information from one or more different sources. A device detecting a source of synchronization information generates and sends a timing signal accuracy report to a switch, e.g. an intelligent IDF switch, included in the local network. The switch receives multiple timing signal accuracy reports, selects a “best” sync source and designates the particular device, e.g., particular CBSD, which reported the best sync source, to be the current master timing device for the local network. The switch communicates the address, e.g., IP address, of the selected master to the devices within the local network.
