  • Patent number: 11979791
    Abstract: Various embodiments that relate to local communication are discussed. A radio from one geographical area can enter a communication environment of a different geographical area. However, if the radio still functions consistent with the previous geographical area, then the radio will not blend into the new geographical area. Therefore, the radio can alter operational characteristics when entering the new geographical area such that the radio blends into the new geographical area from a radio frequency perspective.

  • Patent number: 11979181
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting (Tx) device transmits, to a receiving (Rx) device, a control message indicating a location of one or more noise spurs associated with wireless communications performed by the Tx device using a set of resources, where the location includes a frequency location of the one or more noise spurs in the frequency domain. The Tx device then generates a data message to be communicated using the set of resources associated with the one or more noise spurs based on transmitting the control message, and transmits the generated data message to the Rx device using the set of resources associated with the one or more noise spurs. By indicating the location of the noise spurs, the Rx device may be more able to more efficiently identify and address (e.g., filter out, ignore) the noise spurs within the data message.

  • Patent number: 11979418
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of detecting potential malicious use of a resource management agent using a resource management log. The resource management log is analyzed. The resource management log logs API requests that request that a resource management system cause the resource management agent to perform respective operations. An anomalous operation is detected among the operations based at least in part on an identified API request satisfying one or more criteria associated with anomalous behavior. The identified API request requests that the resource management system cause the resource management agent, which is loaded on a machine and which enables the resource management system to remotely manage resources associated with the machine, to perform the anomalous operation. An alert is generated to notify a user of the potential malicious use of the resource management agent based at least in part on detection of the anomalous operation.
