  • Publication number: 20240031062
    Abstract: A trigger to enable data traffic replication in a wireless network may be provided. A data packet comprising a Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) field in a header may be received. A determination may be made that the data packet comprises a candidate traffic for bi-casting. In response to determining that the data packet comprises the candidate traffic for bi-casting, a flag may be set in the DSCP field in the header of the data packet. The flag triggers bi-casting of the data packet. The data packet may be sent to a destination device.

  • Publication number: 20230393969
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to performing conformance testing of a computational operation. A reference result including one or more reference intermediate products and a reference accumulator output at a first level of precision can be generated for the computational operation and based on one or more inputs. A hardware result can similarly be created using hardware at a second level of precision. The reference result can be compared to the hardware result to determine a variance value. A conformance result can be output based on whether the variance value is within a threshold range.

  • Publication number: 20230354034
    Abstract: A method is provided that is performed in a wireless network to detect a rogue wireless device. The method comprises detecting a suspect wireless device in the wireless network based on messages transmitted by the suspect wireless device using a first Media Access Control (MAC) address that is also used by a valid wireless device in the wireless network. When a suspect wireless device is detected, the method next includes sending to the valid wireless device in the wireless network a request configured to cause the valid wireless device to change its MAC address. After the valid wireless device has changed its MAC address, the method involves observing messages transmitted by the suspect wireless device in the wireless network. The method then includes determining that the suspect wireless device is a rogue device when the suspect wireless device continues to transmit messages using the first MAC address.

  • Publication number: 20230262023
    Abstract: A first access point of a wireless network minimizes Media Access Control (MAC) address collisions in the wireless network. The first access point receives an association request from a first wireless device. The association request identifies a first MAC address of the first wireless device. The first access point determines whether a second wireless device is associated with the wireless network using the first MAC address. Responsive to a determination that the second wireless device is associated with a second access point of the wireless network, the first access point obtains a virtual MAC address for the first wireless device. The first access point translates between the first MAC address and the virtual MAC address for network traffic of the first wireless device.

  • Publication number: 20230262798
    Abstract: A user device connected to a wireless network maintains session persistence through a MAC address change of a user device. The user device establishes a multi-path communication session including a first subflow associated with a first MAC address for the user device. When the user device changes from the first MAC address to a second MAC address. the user device establishes a second subflow of the multi-path communication session. The second subflow is associated with the second MAC address. After establishing the second subflow associated with the second MAC address, the user device ends the first subflow associated with the first MAC address.

  • Patent number: 11395225
    Abstract: A method for a first network device involves transmitting, to one or more second network devices, an uplink message that includes an indication of a receive window time interval, and may also include an indication of a request for a downlink message. The method also involves initiating a scheduled receive mode that causes the first network device to transition the first network device to a first power state, and perform a receive window procedure after the receive window time interval has elapsed. The receive window procedure includes transitioning the first network device to a second power state and listening for the downlink message for a duration of time. The method further involves determining that an expiration condition has been met while the first network device is in the scheduled receive mode. Additionally, the method involves terminating the scheduled receive mode upon determining that the expiration condition has been met.

  • Patent number: 10827453
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose a range detection system that includes a line-of-sight (LOS) emitter that outputs a LOS signal (e.g., visible light, infrared, etc.) which is detected at a receiver (e.g., a photodiode). The receiver outputs a signal representing the intensity of the LOS signal at the receiver. The output signal is converted into a digital signal which is then used to identify a distance value corresponding to the intensity of the LOS signal. For example, the range detection system may include a data structure that maps a plurality of digital signals to respective distance values. In this manner, the intensity of the LOS signal measured at the receiver can be correlated to a distance between the emitter and the receiver.

  • Patent number: 10699609
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a dripping system that displays an animation using different colored light sources. In one embodiment, the dripping system includes red, green, and blue light sources which can be activated individually or in combination to emit light that reflects off liquid droplets emitted by the dripping system. Controlling the timing of the light sources permits the dripping system to illuminate the water droplets at different locations along their path which generate the animations. In one embodiment, the dripping system changes animations or alters the animation in response to user interaction. For example, different user hand gestures may be mapped to different water droplet animations. An input/output (I/O) system detects the user interaction and changes the displayed animation.
