  • Patent number: 10327186
    Abstract: A technique for providing per station control of multiple stations in a wireless network across multiple access points. A look-up table that assigns a station connected to the access point and at least one communication parameter to each of a plurality of persistent, uniquely-assigned BSSIDs (Basic Service Set Identifiers) is stored. An access point responds to messages addressed one of the plurality of persistent, uniquely-assigned BSSIDs and ignores messages addressed to other BSSIDs. Persistence of the BSSID allows the controller to maintain individual control over each station after moving to a second access point of the plurality of access points. A frame comprising the plurality of BSSIDs corresponding to each connected station aggregated into the frame is generated. The frame is transmitted to the plurality of stations.

  • Patent number: 10278105
    Abstract: AP's associated with a communication network and any wireless devices desiring contact, operated according to a protocol in which each wireless device selects AP's with which to communicate. A system coordinator causes the AP's to operate so as to guide each wireless device to an AP selected by the system coordinator. This has the effect that, notwithstanding that the protocol involves having the wireless device make the selection of AP, functionally, the AP's make the selection for it. In a 1st technique, multiple AP's share an identifier, with the system coordinator directing one particular AP to respond to the wireless device, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal cell”. In a 2nd technique, AP's each maintain identifiers substantially unique to each wireless device, with the system coordinator directing only one particular AP to maintain any particular wireless device's identifier, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal AP”.

  • Patent number: 10225764
    Abstract: Uplink medium access control on per-wireless device level for a specific user. An access point sends a beacon frame to a wireless device. The beacon frame includes a BSSID that is unique to the wireless device. The beacon frame also includes embedded uplink configurations specifying uplink medium access for the wireless device. In one embodiment, a controller recognizes a device or user associated with the device, and sends corresponding uplink configurations for embedding in a subsequent beacon frame.

  • Patent number: 9535855
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises detecting that a computer is loading a dynamic loader in a user space, the dynamic loader intending to load computer program code; allowing loading the dynamic loader into memory and then suspending operation of the dynamic loader; reorganizing the computer program code into reorganized code by re-ordering a plurality of code segments into a new order that is potentially different than an original order of the plurality of code segments; modifying the dynamic loader in memory to redirect one or more system or library call instructions of the dynamic loader to cause referencing the reorganized code; updating a binary header of the reorganized code to reflect the new order; allowing the dynamic loader to load the reorganized code based on the binary header after the updating.

  • Patent number: 9336383
    Abstract: An example method for mitigating JIT spraying attacks in a network environment is provided and includes protecting an output of a just-in-time (JIT) compiler against attacks during application execution at least by intervening from outside the application into a JIT page generated by the JIT compiler in a memory element of a host. In a specific embodiment, the intervening can include rewriting the JIT page. In specific embodiments, the method can further include generating a shadow page corresponding to the JIT page in the memory element. The method can further include randomly choosing at least one block of instructions in the JIT page, moving the at least one block of instructions to the shadow page, and replacing the at least one block of instructions in the JIT page with at least one of invalid opcodes and halt instructions.

  • Patent number: 9025581
    Abstract: A controller directing access points to default to a virtual cell service mode which allows seamless mobility for stations in motion around a wireless network is disclosed. Responsive to identifying a first station, the controller logic may dictate tighter controls for the first station by selecting a virtual port service mode. Some embodiments can also select a native cell service mode for devices due to a connection history of the station or a MAC OUI that is incompatible with virtual cell service mode. An initial service mode can be changed due to a condition. Also, the controller provides multiple BSSIDs to each access point.

  • Publication number: 20150043530
    Abstract: For seamless mobility, at least one communication parameter to associate with a BSSID is selected. A beacon is sent from a first access point to advertise its presence, wherein the beacon comprises the BSSID associated with the at least one communication parameter. Responsive to the mobile station choosing the BSSID being advertised in the beacon sent from the first access point, a uniquely assign the BSSID is selected for a mobile station. The first access point from the plurality of access points is associated with the mobile station persistently. Associating is made as selected by the system coordinator, the uniquely assigned BSSID being independent of an identify of mobile station and being eligible for subsequent assignment to a different mobile station as determined by the system coordinator.
