Abstract: A wireless network device includes at least one processor; and memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, individually or collectively, cause the wireless network device to control at least one border router to determine a shortest route path from the at least one border router to a thread node in a thread network; control the at least one border router to assign a preferred border router to the thread node based on the shortest route path; control the at least one border router to send context information in an advertisement packet to a network node, wherein the context information indicates the assigned preferred border router for the thread node; and send at least one downlink packet to the thread node through the assigned preferred border router.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method and system for securely handling re-connection by a wireless device. The method comprises establishing a connection with a plurality of client devices, wherein the wireless device establishes the connection with the plurality of client devices using a first security configuration and detecting whether a criterion is met to re-establish the connection with the plurality of client devices. The method also comprises dynamically generating a second security configuration to re-establish the connection with the plurality of client devices in response to detecting that the criterion is met. The method further comprises encrypting the second security configuration and sending the encrypted second security configuration to the plurality of client devices to re-establish the connection with the wireless device.

Abstract: A method of controlling a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices included in an IoT ecosystem is provided. A change of a value of a resource of an IoT device from among the plurality of IoT devices is detected, an intent associated with the resource of which the value is changed is identified, a resource associated with the identified intent from among resources of the plurality of IoT devices is determined, and a value of the determined resource is controlled based on a context corresponding to the identified intent.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method, an Access Point (AP) device for creating a closed Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) hotspot network, and a method, a station device for connecting to the closed Wi-Fi hotspot network. The AP device receives a first input for creating the closed Wi-Fi hotspot network, transmits an encryption key to the station device, which is present within a predefined region, over an in-band communication medium or an out-of-band communication medium, and creates the closed Wi-Fi hotspot network by communicating management frames in cipher text with the station device. The station device receives the encryption key and the management frames from the AP device; and transmits a connection request to the AP device for connecting to the closed Wi-Fi hotspot network. The communication of the management frames in the cipher text provides improved security against attacks associated with Wi-Fi hotspot networks.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamic throttling of scan requests for multiple scanners in a cluster of nodes are described. An apparatus may comprise a dynamic throttling service component for executing the dynamic throttling of scan requests for the multiple scanners in the cluster of nodes. The dynamic throttling service component operative to estimate, by the scanner proxy, a resource limit count value representative of resource capacity for servicing scan requests for each one of the multiple scanners in the cluster of nodes; detect a first scan request exceeds the resource limit count value for a first scanner; dynamically throttle each subsequent scan request for the first scanner in response to the first scan request exceeding the resource limit count value; and revise the resource limit count value, by the scanner proxy, for the first scanner.

Abstract: A method for managing device connectivity between a plurality of secondary devices by a primary device, including acquiring history information from at least one secondary device of the plurality of secondary devices, the history information including information relating to a current connection and at least one previous connection among the plurality of secondary devices, identifying a plurality of connection states between the plurality of secondary devices based on the history information, displaying the plurality of secondary devices and the plurality of connection states between the plurality of secondary devices, and in response to receiving an input for two secondary devices of the displayed plurality of secondary devices, changing a connection status between the two secondary devices.

Abstract: A method, device, and system for sharing at least one display attribute associated with content displayed on the device with a target device is provided. The method includes identifying the at least one display attribute associated with content displayed in a source device, processing the identified at least one display attribute in accordance with an interoperability display ratio, and displaying the content on the target device after applying the processed at least one display attribute to the content. When content is shared between two devices, exchange of display attributes associated with the content helps in ensuring that the user experience of the content is similar at both the source device end and target device.
