Publication number: 20240137766Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Ivan Ong, Phillip Andrew Sanderson, Thomas William Lynn, JR.

Publication number: 20240098617Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for determining an optimal path in a mesh network. A pre-emptive message, such as a request to send (RTS) message, carrying, for example, an address of a target mobile device, may be sent from an access point to a computing device in a mesh network. The computing device may relay the RTS to the target mobile device. A clear to send (CTS) message and transmission parameters indicating channel conditions may be transmitted from the target mobile device to the access point via the computing device. The access point may determine an optimal path based on the transmission parameters and send data via the optimal path.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Ivan Ong, David J.

Publication number: 20230413120Abstract: A computing device (e.g., a network device) may receive a request from a user device to initiate a communication session. The request may indicate a requested beacon data communication rate associated with the user device. The computing device may determine that an advertised beacon data communication rate associated with the computing device is different from the requested beacon data communication rate for the user device. The computing device may determine to communicate with the user device at the requested beacon data communication rate associated with the user device. The computing device may send, to the user device, a response at a data communication rate associated with the requested beacon data communication rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventor: Ivan Ong
