Abstract: Cellular connections can be used to provision non-cellular devices such as internet-of-things (IoT) devices. For example, IoT devices can comprise Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular capabilities. However, the cellular capability can be used to provision the IoT devices using non-internet protocol data delivery to prevent security vulnerabilities. Data can be transmitted to the IoT device using core elements without using an IP stack. Thus, IoT device configurations and the keys can be provisioned over-the-air without the use of internet protocol data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of generating physiological state classifications such as sleep classifications. Physiological state classification may refer to a machine-learning model's prediction of a subject's physiological state based on sensor data. In particular, the machine-learning model may generate a sleep classification that represents a prediction of a subject's sleep stage. A sleep stage may refer to whether the subject is awake or asleep (for a binary classification). In some examples, the sleep stage may refer to whether the subject is awake, N1, N2, N3, and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) (for a multi-class classification).
