  • Patent number: 12081980
    Abstract: Provided herein are apparatus and methods for Wi-Fi network profile verification. An apparatus for a wireless communication device includes: a memory; and processor circuitry coupled with the memory, wherein the processor circuitry is to: encode a verification sequence in a probe request for transmission to an AP; decode, in response to the probe request, a probe response received from the AP to obtain a first verification result; determine a second verification result based on the verification sequence and a verification password (VP) obtained from the AP; and determine whether a verification for the AP is successful or not based on the first verification result and the second verification result, and wherein the memory is to store the VP. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20230308506
    Abstract: For example, a first wireless communication device may be configured to determine a negotiated bootstrapping mechanism based on a first message-exchange including Peer-to-Peer (P2P) messages exchanged with a second wireless communication device; to pair the first wireless communication device with the second wireless communication device according to the negotiated bootstrapping mechanism; to derive a Pairwise Master Key Security Association (PMKSA) based on a second message-exchange with the second wireless communication device, e.g., after pairing with the second wireless communication device; and to determine an encryption key according to a third message exchange with the second wireless communication device based on the PMKSA. For example, the encryption key may be configured to encrypt a P2P communication with the second wireless communication device.

  • Patent number: 11075778
    Abstract: For example, a first wireless communication device may be configured to cluster a plurality of channel estimation measurements into a plurality of clusters based on a clustering criterion, the plurality of channel estimation measurements corresponding to a respective plurality of Physical Protocol Data Units (PPDUs) received from a second wireless communication device over a wireless communication channel; and, based on clustering of the plurality of channel estimation measurements into the plurality of clusters, selectively provide a clustered channel estimation measurement to be processed for detection of changes in an environment of the wireless communication channel, by providing the clustered channel estimation measurement together with one or more other clustered channel estimation measurements of a same cluster of the clustered channel estimation measurement to be processed for the detection of the changes in the environment.

  • Publication number: 20200400778
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to receiver diversity for Wi-Fi sensing. A device may identify first packets received from a second device during a time period, the first packets received using a first communication link between the device and the second device, and may identify second packets received from a third device during the time period, the second packets received using a second communication link between the device and the third device. The device may determine, based on the first packets, a first value indicative of a first amount of channel state variance associated with the first communication link during the time period. The device may determine, based on the second packets, a second value indicative of a second amount of channel state variance associated with the second communication link during the time period. The device may send the first value and the second value.

  • Publication number: 20180007947
    Abstract: A watermelon slicer/de-rinder capable of storing the unused portion of watermelon is provided herein. Embodiments of the present invention comprise two main components, a base to which a watermelon is to be secured, and a slicing mechanism which cuts the watermelon. When enough slices of watermelon are removed, the slicing mechanism is placed back on the watermelon and the knife handles are pushed back in. The invention is attached to the watermelon and they are now ready for storing for future eating. The base of the watermelon slicer/de-rinder is used to secure the remaining watermelon and prevent it from falling.

  • Publication number: 20050125511
    Abstract: A method, machine readable medium, and system is disclosed. In one embodiment the method comprises connecting a device to a network, determining a unique identifier based on the network, obtaining network configuration settings that are associated with the unique network identifier, intercepting network traffic originating from an application located on the device, and rerouting the intercepted network traffic to a final correct location using the obtained network configuration settings.
