Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using opportunistically delayed delivery of content to address sub-optimal bandwidth resource usage in network infrastructures that allow subscribers to share forward link resources. According to some embodiments, content is identified as delayable and assigned to a delaycast queue and/or service flow. For example, a server system of a satellite communications system identifies content that can be delayed to exploit future excess link capacity through multicasting and to exploit subscriber-side storage resources. Some implementations attempt to exploit any excess link resources at any time, while others exploit unused bandwidth only during certain times or when a certain threshold of resources is available. Various embodiments also provide content scoring and/or other prioritization techniques for optimizing exploitation of the delaycast queue.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes how a master beacon having a known QUID can be used to capture beacons within its range and superimpose a systematic address scheme on those beacons. The superimposed address scheme can then be used as a proxy for the individual beacons when developing applications that make use of the beacons. A master beacon automatically detects each beacon in a plurality of beacons and, for a set of beacons in the plurality of beacons, automatically changes either the first profile identifier or the second profile identifier for each beacon in the set of beacons. The change is such that the first profile identifier or the second profile identifier is identical for each beacon in the set of beacons and is also associated with the master beacon.
