  • Patent number: 12256232
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic allocation of spectrum among cross-interfering radio nodes of wireless communications systems are disclosed. Multiple radio nodes may be deployed within a geographical region, and each radio node may support wireless communication over spectrum in which access is arbitrated by an external service not under the control of the operator of the radio node. Each radio node is configured to detect radio conditions which may indicate coexistence between the radio node and a neighboring radio node. A network entity associated with the radio node obtains radio condition information and determines a coexistence status between the radio node and the neighboring radio node, such as whether coexistence with the neighboring radio node is tolerable or intolerable. The network entity reports an indication of the coexistence status to a spectrum server, and the spectrum server reallocates the spectrum among the radio nodes.

  • Patent number: 12224882
    Abstract: This invention allows an end user (“client”) to access one of any number of devices via a server (or cluster of server instances). Each device may be in a different physical location and different location on the Internet or other network. Each device might also be behind a router or firewall that makes direct access to the device impossible. Clients may optionally be authenticated to ensure they are authorized to access a particular device, and devices may also be authenticated to verify their identity to prevent spoofing. Access to a device is achieved by tunneling network requests over a persistent connection that the device establishes when it first comes online.
