Abstract: An access point apparatus, a control apparatus and a method are defined for connecting a guest device to a wireless network according to a device provisioning protocol, DPP. A guest channel and an administrative channel are utilised in order to ensure separation of the wireless network, such that the guest device is never connected to the administrative channel. The administrative channel is used by the control apparatus to fetch guest connection information from the access point apparatus, which is then communicated to the guest device. The guest device then uses this information to facilitate the connection to the wireless network via the guest channel.

Abstract: Proposed concepts thus aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to device provisioning protocol onboarding in wireless networks. In particular, the embodiment aims to reduce overall onboarding time for a plurality of enrollee devices by controlling enrollment of the enrollee devices based on the status (e.g. availability, readiness, workload, etc.) of the configurator device.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for managing a transaction right in a digital rights management server. The transaction right is the right to a transaction of a utilization right of a digital content item. The method comprises steps of obtaining an attribute associated with the digital content item from metadata of the digital content item; and generating the transaction right on the basis of a pre-stored rule and the attribute of the digital content item. Since the transaction right is generated on the basis of the attribute of the digital content item, or in other words, the transaction right is dependent on the attribute of the digital content item, the generated transaction right of digital content items can be different if the corresponding attribute associated with the digital content items are different. Furthermore, in additional to the metadata, the generation of the transaction right only requires the pre-stored rule, resulting in affordable complexity and cost.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a handshake operation. Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is an important secure protocol in the IP based Internet of things. The performance of DTLS handshake can be significantly affected by network status, traffic and packet loss rate, etc. It is therefore suggested evaluating a package loss rate and estimating causes of packet loss. Then, a DTLS handshake strategy may be changed adaptively based on the detection of packet loss and network status. As a result, the successful rate and delay of DTLS handshake can be improved. An acknowledgement and a non-acknowledgement mode may be used in a hybrid way to evaluate the package loss rate and estimate causes of packet loss and eventually improve performance of DTLS handshake.

Abstract: A localization system 100 comprising multiple beacons 120 and an assignment system 110 is provided. The assignment system is arranged to assign a temporary location identifier to a location identifier associated with a beacon. A scheduler 150 is arranged to schedule the assigning of temporary location identifiers according to a schedule. It is avoided that the beacons have a fixed location identifier, thus third parties cannot create a mapping between the temporary location identifiers and the locations of the beacons.
