  • Publication number: 20230029644
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for dynamically reducing an aperture size to reduce overhead. In some implementations, a server can receive a first transmission from a first terminal through a communication network. The server can determine a timing offset associated with the first terminal based on the first transmission. The server can determine an aperture window size for an aperture window for the first terminal based on the determined timing offset associated with the first terminal. The server can generate allocation data that assigns communication resources to one or more terminals that includes the first terminal, the allocation data being based on the determined aperture window size for the first terminal. The server can communicate with the one or more terminals to indicate the communication resources respectively allocated to the one or more terminals.

  • Publication number: 20230035399
    Abstract: Some examples relate to distributing application classification entries to network devices. An example includes receiving, by a processing resource in a cloud computing system, an application classification entry for an application from respective network devices on a network. The application classification entry may comprise a given application identifier for identifying the application and control information for routing a network packet originating from the application. For the given application identifier, the processing resource may generate a consolidated set of application classification entries, based on the application classification entry received from respective network devices. The processing resource may then determine appropriate network devices to distribute the consolidated set of application classification entries.

  • Publication number: 20220353235
    Abstract: Some examples relate to controlling network traffic pertaining to a domain name based on a Domain Name System-Internet Protocol address (DNS-IP) mapping, An example includes receiving, in a cloud computing system, a local DNS-IP mapping for a domain name from respective Access Points (APs) in a virtual local area network (VLAN) along with geographical information of respective APs; generating a global DNS-IP mapping database comprising the local DNS-IP mapping for the domain name received from respective APs in the VLAN along with geographical information of respective APs, in the cloud computing system; and determining appropriate APs to distribute the global DNS-IP mapping, based on location information of respective APs.

  • Publication number: 20220335756
    Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for providing a vehicle navigation in response to broken or uncalibrated vehicle sensors. The system comprises a sensor to capture data, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that cause the system to determine whether the sensor is broken or uncalibrated based on the data, and to limit a range of motion of the vehicle when the sensor is determined to be broken or uncalibrated. The limiting a range of motion of the vehicle includes limiting a number of driving options for the vehicle when the sensor is broken.

  • Patent number: 11463425
    Abstract: Traffic broadcast to a VLAN is restricted. To do so, a plurality of stations are associated with a BSSID (basic service set identifier). A first VLAN is configured by sending a first group key to each station from the plurality of stations that is a member of the first VLAN, wherein each VLAN is associated with a unique group key. One or more frames addressed to the first VLAN are received. The one or more frames are encrypted with the first group key to prevent stations without the first group key from being able to decrypt the one or more frames. The one or more encrypted VLAN frames are broadcast to the plurality of stations associated with the BSSID.

  • Patent number: 11330469
    Abstract: An 802.11-compliant device for high throughput is disclosed. A plurality of TCP packets received in a buffer for transmission are stored. The plurality of TCP packets can be aggregated as A-MSDU sub-frames to form a A-MSDU frame in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 standard. Additionally, a plurality of A-MSDU frames can be aggregated as A-MPDU sub-frames to form a A-MPDU frame. The A-MPDU frame is compliant with a number of allowable sub-frames and a maximum size in accordance with an 802.11 standard. The A-MPDU frame is sent for transmission as an IEEE 802.11 packet.

  • Publication number: 20220042350
    Abstract: The present disclosure defines a lever handing apparatus that permits simplified changing of the handing of a lever handle between a left hand and a right hand orientation. The lever handing apparatus includes an assembly with a rotatable spring cage housing and lever spindle that can be selectively rotated within an escutcheon housing to change the handing position of a lever arm. The handing orientation of the lever can be repositioned without removing a back plate or accessing internal components positioned within the escutcheon housing assembly.

  • Patent number: 10880749
    Abstract: Techniques which prevent rogue devices from continued access to a wireless communication system. A control element directs access points as to which mobile stations to service. Each access point maintains a record of the mobile stations it is servicing. At the direction of the control element, one or more access points send ACK (acknowledgement) messages when hearing messages from a rogue device. When the rogue device sends a message, it expects an ACK message in response, but those additional ACK messages interfere with the responsive ACK message, causing the rogue device to never hear the responsive ACK message. The rogue device assumes its message was not received, so it retries sending of that message. When the rogue device retries sending of its message, the responsive ACK message is similarly interfered with, until the rogue device concludes that its connection has been lost.

  • Patent number: 10652905
    Abstract: Network devices are steered to preferred access points using a probability function. A probe request for connection is received from a network device. The probe request can be from a network device attempting to use a wireless network (e.g., a IEEE 802.11-type network or other suitable type of network). A probability function that defines a likelihood of granting the network device a connection is used to determine whether to accept or deny the response. The probe response is then sent to the network device.

  • 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: 10129755
    Abstract: A spoofed management frame is sent to an unauthorized access point (AP) on behalf of a station from an authorized AP, using a media access control (MAC) address of the station. The spoofed frame triggers a security association (SA) query from an unauthorized AP to reestablish valid communications. An acknowledgment (ACK) frame sent from the client to the unauthorized AP responsive to the SA query request is detected by the AP. A probe response is sent to the client. The probe response includes a channel switching element. The channel switching prevents the client from completing the SA process before a time out.
