Patent number: 11064354Abstract: An apparatus and method provide personal networks to tenants on a multiple dwelling unit (MDU) network. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are assigned to a plurality of tenants to define a plurality of personal networks on the MDU network such that each of the personal networks is for a different tenant and is assigned a different VLAN. Onboarding requests are received from a plurality of client devices of a tenant for access to a personal network assigned to the tenant such that, when provisioned onto the personal network, intercommunication between the client devices of the tenant across the MDU network within the personal network is provided while access thereto by client devices of other tenants is blocked.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: John Randolph Bestermann, James Brook Longdon

Patent number: 9912667Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate the management of connections between one or more client devices and an access point over one or more service sets. An access point may maintain a list of client devices that have successfully associated with a private service set broadcast from the access point, and when a client device from the list attempts to connect to a public service set broadcast from the access point, the access point may deny the client device's attempt to connect to the public service set. Attempts by the client device to join the public service set may be denied for a predetermined number of attempts or a predetermined period of time. Denying an attempt to connect to a public service set may provide a client device with more opportunities to connect to a private service set broadcast from a corresponding access point.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: John Randolph Bestermann, Wade E. Carter, Kurt Alan Lumbatis
