Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums for secure, low end-user effort computing device configuration. In some examples the IoT device is configured via a user's computing device over a short range wireless link of a first type. This short range wireless communication may use a connection establishment that does not require end-user input. For example, the end user will not have to enter, or confirm a PIN number or other authentication information such as usernames and/or passwords. This allows configuration to involve less user input. In some examples, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, the power of a transmitter in the IoT device that transmits the short range wireless link is reduced during a configuration procedure so that the range of the transmissions to and from the user's computing device are reduced to a short distance.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and devices related to optimizing connectivity between devices. A device is disclosed that may determine first information received from a client device, wherein the first information comprises at least one of an authentication request, an association request, or pre-association discovery request, and wherein the first information includes an indication of a first device type. The device may further determine a first virtual access point from a group of virtual access points associated with the wireless device based at least in part on the first device type, wherein the first virtual access point has first wireless resources. The device may further associate the client device with the first virtual access point. The device may further cause to send to the client device data based at least in part on the first wireless resources.

Abstract: An apparatus for the handover of a transmission of a data application. The apparatus includes a computer device, and the computer device includes a wireless receiver and a wireless transmitter. The data application is transmitted over a first wireless network. The computer device includes a handover (SH) proxy. The VoIP handover proxy is to maintain the transmission of the data application while the transmission and state of the data application switches from being transmitted over the first wireless network to being transmitted over a second wireless network. During the switch between wireless networks, the data application is unaware of the switch, and seamless mobility is achieved by using the VoIP handover proxy.
