Abstract: Techniques for facilitating client mobility without performing re-association are described. An example technique includes receiving, from a first access point (AP), an indication of at least one second AP neighboring the first AP. A multi-link association is performed. The multi-link association includes establishing a first link with the first AP and pre-establishing a second link with the second AP. After performing the multi-link association, the first AP is communicated with at a first instance in time via the first link.

Abstract: Group identity assignment and policy enforcement may be provided. A User Defined Network Identifier (UDN ID) defining a group of client devices may be received. Next, a client identifier (ID) associated with a source client device that is associated with the group of client devices may be received. The UDN ID and the client ID may be encoded in an Extended Local Identifier (ELI) Media Access Control (MAC) address associated with the source client device. A source MAC address of a packet received from the source client device may then be substituted with the ELI MAC address. Then the packet may be forwarded.

Abstract: Techniques for connecting known entities to a protected network are described. A user device with a certified application installed is authenticated with an identification repository. The authentication is accomplished using credentials associated with the certified application. The user device is also enrolled with an authentication server and the authenticated user device is connected to the protected network.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe segmenting a Wi-Fi network into different groups. The embodiments herein assign a user, a client device, or a traffic flow originating from a client device to a group. For example, all the client devices for a particular user can be assigned to the same group tag, or each traffic flow in the client device may be assigned to different groups. Each group corresponds to a group key which can be transmitted to the client device when the device associates to an access point (AP). As such, within the same service set identifier (SSID), there can be multiple groups, and thus, client devices can use different group keys to communicate with other client devices associated to the same SSID. Put differently, rather than all devices connected the same SSID being assigned to the same group, the client devices can be assigned in different groups.

Abstract: A meeting server receives shared content from a presenter device in an online conference session with one or more attendee devices. The meeting server generates one or more digital watermarks corresponding to the one or more attendee devices. Each respective digital watermark includes an indication of the presenter device and an indication of a respective attendee device. The meeting server transmits the shared content with the respective digital watermark to the respective attendee device as part of the online conference session. The respective digital watermark is visible in the shared content displayed on the respective attendee device.

Abstract: An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include gathering current wireless local area network (WLAN) data for a WLAN, wherein the WLAN data comprises network data, Radio Frequency (RF) data, and transmission data for a plurality of user equipment (UE) operating within the WLAN; generating a plurality of color maps; merging the plurality of color maps to generate a combined color map; and calculating a predicted application score for at least one UE operating within the WLAN based, at least in part, on application of the combined color map to a trained statistical model that represents linking relationships between the WLAN data gathered for the WLAN and a plurality of possible application scores for the plurality of UE. The plurality of color maps can include an RF color map, a transmission color map, and a Quality of Service color map.

Abstract: Methods, logic, apparatus, and systems are provided to support cross cluster directory number (DN) extension mobility (EM) using dynamic network distributed dial-peer updates in a communication networks, which includes a plurality of clusters or systems and each of the plurality of clusters including a call control agent (CCA). Identification data corresponding to an identity of an associated user is received into a first cluster of a multiple cluster telecommunication network. A directory number and associated first telecommunication device corresponding to the user are registered with a first call control agent of the first cluster in accordance with received identification data. Registration data corresponding to the registered directory number is communicated to at least a second cluster of the telecommunications network.

Abstract: A sanitary drinking accessory is disclosed for use with a metal beverage can after it has been opened by actuating an integral "pop-top" feature. The drinking accessory has a unitary body fabricated from a resilient material which is not inherently potentially toxic when brought into contact with a human mouth. The peripheral shape of the drinking accessory includes a rear section and a front section which is shaped, in horizontal cross section, in the form of a circular section generally conforming to the curve of the circumference of the top of the beverage can. An aperture extends through the accessory and terminates, at its upper end, in an outwardly flared manner such that its upper section merges with the top surface.
