  • Patent number: 12659695
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, an access point (AP) and a computer program product for determining location of the AP. A location information of a communication device wirelessly coupled to the AP may be received, the location information including a first location uncertainty with a first confidence level. A distance between the AP and the communication device may be determined based at least on a measured signal strength of a signal received from the communication device. Location information of the AP may be determined based at least on the distance and the location information of the communication device. A second location uncertainty with a second confidence level may be determined based on the distance and the first location uncertainty as at least a portion of the location information of the AP.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20250374044
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a device and a computer program product for automated frequency coordination (AFC) authentication of a communication device. An AFC response, including information indicating available frequency spectrum and power constraints thereon for the communication device, may be received. An occasion for updating operating power on an operating channel, the operating channel, or the operating channel and the operating power thereon of a wireless communication interface of the communication device may be determined based on states of the wireless communication interface. The operating power on the operating channel, the operating channel, or the operating channel and the operating power thereon may be updated based at least in part on the power constraints on the available frequency spectrum at the occasion for updating.

  • Patent number: 12335908
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for positioning, an access point (AP) and a computer program product. The method may include: obtaining a location information of a client device wirelessly coupled to the AP; determining a location information of the AP based on the location information of the client device; and in response to determining that the location information of the AP is invalid, transmitting a notification indicating the invalidity of the location information of the AP to one or more client devices bound to the AP.

  • Publication number: 20220224604
    Abstract: An MPTCP Incast performance evaluation model based on a queuing network is provided. The invention establishes a multi-level collaborative MPTCP Incast data transmission performance evaluation model of M/M/N/mI?M/M/L/mII?M/M/K/mIII the queuing network based on a multi-homed FatTree topology and a Markov property of an MPTCP data scheduling process. M/M/N/mI, M/M/L/mII and M/M/K/mIII respectively characterize a three-level collaborative process of arrival of data traffic groups in a bottleneck link of an edge layer, a transmission hotspot ToR cluster and a bottleneck link of a convergence layer.
