Abstract: In some examples, an access point determines, based on at least one criterion that includes a non-time based criterion, whether to activate group-addressed transmission of information relating to an access network. In response to determining, based on the at least one criterion, to activate group-addressed transmission of information relating to the access network, the access point transmits information relating to the access network in a message targeted to a group address.

Abstract: An access point advertises a management frame quality of service (MFQ) policy that defines an access category used for transmitting a first type of management frame. Each mobile station associated with the access point is to prioritize transmission of management frames according to the MFQ policy advertised by the access point, unless a policy configuration request for the mobile station to prioritize transmission of management frames according to a different MFQ policy has been accepted.

Abstract: A testing device includes a scaffold for supporting conductive wires. The scaffold is placed in housing in which liquid and vapor phases of a fluid are provided, such that a first of the conductive wires extends into the liquid and a second of the conductive wires remains in the vapor throughout a test. The scaffold may include a plurality of lower support members and a plurality of upper wire support members, each of the support members including a plurality of routing supports to wrap a respective one of the test wires around. The device allows measurements to be made contemporaneously for the test wires.

Abstract: Network information may be discoverable without requiring a connection to that network. For example, Access Network Query Protocol (“ANQP”) may allow a device to discover information about a network prior to the device associating with that network. In other words, ANQP allows a network terminal to request additional network information prior to establishing network capability. The additional network information that may be discoverable includes network latency, cellular capabilities, hotspot capabilities, mobility capabilities, neighbor reports, station identification, and multiple hotspot session identification.

Abstract: In some examples, a first wireless device sends, to a second wireless device, a control indication that controls transmission of group-addressed data between the first wireless device and the second wireless device over a wireless local area network (WLAN).

Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. A current node associated with a sub-volume is split into further sub-volumes, each further sub-volume corresponding to a child node of the current node, and, at the encoder, an occupancy pattern is determined for the current node based on occupancy status of the child nodes. A probability distribution is selected from among a plurality of probability distributions based on occupancy data for a plurality of nodes neighbouring the current node. The encoder entropy encodes the occupancy pattern based on the selected probability distribution to produce encoded data for the bitstream and updates the selected probability distribution. The decoder makes the same selection based on occupancy data for neighbouring nodes and entropy decodes the bitstream to reconstruct the occupancy pattern.

Abstract: A method at a sensor module within a sensor system for communicating with a gateway, the method including storing a timing profile for communications with the gateway; waking a radio core of the sensor module at a threshold time prior to a beacon signal being expected from the gateway; sampling a channel for the beacon signal at the radio core; if the beacon signal is detected: waking a processor on the sensor module; exchanging communication with the gateway; and powering down the processor and radio core upon completion of the exchanging communication.

Abstract: A label support includes a holding body for holding a label, which is arranged thereon, on an object to be labeled, the holding body having at least one transparent section for arranging a label. The at least one transparent section includes a plastic that contactlessly detectable in an inductive manner.

Abstract: A method at a computing device within an Intelligent Transportation System, the method including detecting a traffic event at the computing device; determining no fixed roadside unit is available from the computing device; establishing an Internet Protocol connection from the computing device to a network node; and sending a traffic event message from the computing device to the network node, the traffic event message providing information for the traffic event.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to improve security of an authentication process in a cargo shipping system. In some aspect, an authentication request message is received at a sensor from a cargo tracking device. The authentication request message includes a key that the sensor will use to decrypt its encrypted public key/private key pair. In response to the authentication request message, the sensor sends an authentication response message to the cargo tracking device that is encrypted using a derived symmetric key. The cargo tracking device sends an authentication confirmation message to the sensor in response to the authentication response message.

Abstract: In some examples, a wireless device includes a communication interface to communicate with a wireless network, and at least one processor configured to, receive, from an access point (AP), information including a network address policy of the wireless network. The at least one processor is configured to further, in response to the information including the network address policy, use an address of the wireless device according to the network address policy.

Abstract: A system for wirelessly obtaining physiological data from a subject includes a sensor patch and a separate electronics package. The sensor patch is disposed on and adheres to the subject, and includes a first part of a releasable electrical connector. An electronics package includes a second part of the first releasable electrical connector, which is used to physically and electrically connect the electronics package to the sensor patch.

Abstract: In some examples, a system detects an accident involving a first vehicle, where the detecting is based on an accident indication received by the service over a network from a second vehicle not involved in the accident, the second vehicle different from the first vehicle, and where the accident indication from the second vehicle is responsive to messages received by the second vehicle from other vehicles. In response to the detecting of the accident, the system verifies that the accident occurred by sending, from the service, queries to a roadside unit and a third vehicle, and receiving, at the service, responses to the queries from the roadside unit and the third vehicle, the responses containing event data collected by the roadside unit and the third vehicle of events in a vicinity of the accident.
