  • Publication number: 20180032383
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide a method for performing one or more transactions between application containers. In various implementations, the method includes transmitting a key request to a first network node within a cluster of network nodes that are configured to generate and maintain a distributed ledger. In some implementations, the key request indicates that the requested key is for one or more transactions between a first application container and a second application container. In various implementations, the method includes receiving a key in response to transmitting the key request. In some implementations, the key is valid for the one or more transactions between the first application container and the second application container. In various implementations, the method includes synthesizing, at the first application container, transaction data with the key.

  • Patent number: 9860698
    Abstract: In some implementations a method includes receiving a first message from a computing device via a first network. The first message may indicate that the computing device is unable to communicate with a second network. The method also includes determining whether a beacon operator has requested tracking of the computing device. The method further includes transmitting a second message to the beacon operator when the beacon operator has requested tracking of the computing device. The second message may include a first geographical location identified by the first network.

  • Publication number: 20170337285
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide a search engine that receives a search request from a sensor gateway, and provides search results in return. In various implementations, the search request includes a first set of measurements captured by a first sensor, a first measurement from the first set of measurements is outside a defined range. In various implementations, the search engine determines a first feature vector based on the first set of measurements, and identifies a second feature vector that indicates a second set of measurements within a degree of similarity to the first set of measurements. In some implementations, the second set of measurements are captured by a second sensor. In various implementations, the search engine determines a search result based on the second feature vector, and transmits the search result. In some implementations, the search result indicates one or more instructions executable by the first sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170338883
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable transforming mutable wireless coverage areas using network coverage vehicles (NVCs) that are orchestrated by a network coverage controller. In various implementations, the method includes receiving coverage area performance characterization values from NCVs configured to provide a plurality of mutable wireless coverage areas. In various implementations, an arrangement of the mutable wireless coverage areas mutably defines the service area, which changes in accordance with changes to the arrangement of the mutable wireless coverage areas. In various implementations, the method also includes determining NCV operation adjustments for some of the NCVs based on the received coverage area performance characterization values in accordance with a service performance metric; and, altering an arrangement of one or more of the plurality of mutable wireless coverage areas within the service area by providing the NCV operation adjustments to some of the NCVs.

  • Publication number: 20170310583
    Abstract: Disclosed is segment routing for load balancing. A network path identification device can receive a first service request identifying a first service. The first service request can originate from a first client device. The network path identification device can select, from a Source Routing (SR) list, a first service node to provide the first service and a first network path to reach the first service node. The SR list can include a set of service nodes that provide the service and one or more network paths to reach each service node from the set of service nodes. The network path identification device can then transmit a response message to the first service request. The response message can identify the first service node and the first network path so that the first client device can use the first network path to request the first service from the first service node.
