Abstract: Non-pre-provisioned cellular Internet of things (IoT) devices can be added to an existing user's subscription with an operator and a service provider. The procedure can include obtaining a security association between a device and a user's smartphone using the operator's network. The operator and the service provider can verify the device with a certificate authority. In one embodiment, the smartphone reads (302) a URL pointer to the device certification and sends it (304) to the MME. The MME forwards (306) the URL to the HSS. The HSS verifies (312) the certificate and derives security credentials including the Master key K?. The HSS also derives another key K? used to establish security context between the IoT device and the smartphone. The device uses its key deriving function KDF with K? and Rand to generate K?.

The node may then broadcast the next interest packet upon expiration of a timer set to the time period and started when the next interest packet was obtained.

Abstract: System and techniques for information centric network (ICN) protocol for federated learning are described herein. An interest packet may be received on a first interface to start a federated learning round. Here, the interest packet includes a participant criterion and a federated learning round expiration.

When a data packet from a node, that meeting the participant criterion, is received in response to the interest packet, the data packet is forwarded on the first interface in accordance with the PIT entry.

Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA), and method of communication are generally described herein. The AP may perform channel sensing in a first channel of a first frequency band and a second channel of a second frequency band to obtain access for transmission of a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that comprises multiple subframes. The transmission of the PPDU may be configurable to use a multi-band layer-1 aggregation of the first and second channels. While the second channel is unavailable, the AP may transmit one or more subframes on the first channel without usage of the multi-band layer-1 aggregation. When it is determined that the second channel has become available, the AP may switch to synchronized transmission of the subframes on the first and second channels in accordance with the multi-band layer-1 aggregation.
