  • Patent number: 11172440
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for enabling wired sensors to be coupled to a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is provided. A first wired device that is coupled to the LPWAN gateway device via a first wired medium may be identified at a LPWAN gateway device. A first virtual node may be instantiated at the LPWAN gateway device, the first virtual node assigned to provide protocol conversion between the LPWAN and the first wired device. A request to join the LPWAN as a node that does not require Radio Frequency (RF) management may be transmitted from the first virtual node at the LPWAN gateway.

  • Patent number: 11134384
    Abstract: An access point AP authentication method, a system, and a related device are provided, so as to improve security of accessing an AP of a WLAN by a terminal. The method is as follows: determining, by the terminal, an AP feature according to a feature generation rule corresponding to the access point AP of the wireless local area network WLAN; sending, by the terminal to the AP, a request message for requesting to provide an AP feature, and obtaining a response message that is returned by the AP according to the request message; and determining, by the terminal according to the response message and the determined AP feature, whether the AP can be authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11115298
    Abstract: A method is provided that involves obtaining service pre-conditions associated with a service to be supported in a network. The method includes providing a plurality of digital Intellectual Capital (IC) modules, and providing signature pre-condition logic that specifies one or more conditions that indicate relevancy of one or more digital IC modules. The method includes selecting, from the plurality of digital IC modules, based on the service pre-conditions and the signature pre-condition logic, one or more particular digital IC modules that are applicable to the service in the network. The method further includes determining information to be obtained from one or more nodes in the network based on the one or more particular digital IC modules, and obtaining the information from the one or more nodes in the network. The information is analyzed to determine whether the one or more specific operational issues are present in the network.

  • Patent number: 11088874
    Abstract: An in-vehicle message transmission method includes receiving a network management (NM) message from a Controller Area Network (CAN) network, transmitting a wakeup pulse to an Ethernet network in response to the NM message, storing an Ethernet message into which a CAN message received from the CAN network is converted in a gateway, and transmitting the Ethernet message to an Ethernet node when a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with the Ethernet node to receive the Ethernet message is established.

  • Patent number: 11070968
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program are provided for protecting against unintentional deletion of an eSIM from a mobile device. In use, deletion of an eSIM from a mobile device is detected. Additionally, definitions of predefined scenarios indicative of unintentional deletions of eSIMs are accessed. Further, the detected deletion is analyzed, using the definitions, to determine that the detected deletion is unintentional. Still yet, a proactive care action is caused to be performed to address the unintentional deletion of the eSIM from the mobile device.
