Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for passive beamforming for Wi-Fi. A first wireless device communicating in an active session via a first bandwidth with a second wireless device may use a passive beamforming technique to identify a transmission sector of the second wireless device and/or a receive sector for communications on a second bandwidth, while the first wireless device is in an inactive session state for the second bandwidth. The second wireless device may transmit beacons in the second bandwidth via directional transmission sectors while the first wireless device is in the inactive session state for the second bandwidth. The first wireless device may receive the beacons and may select a transmission sector based on the beacons. The first wireless device may indicate the selected transmission sector to the second wireless device. The first wireless device may select a receive sector based on the beacons.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling operations of devices in an IoT environment based on a correlation between devices. The controlled operations include identifying a first device in response to a user pointing the electronic device toward the first device, determining at least one second device contextually related to the first device, and recommending at least one suggestion to control at least one operation of at least one of the first device or the at least one second device, based on a correlation between capabilities of the first device and a current operating context of the at least one second device.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to techniques for determining items of inventory of a data center to which a user has access. Embodiments include receiving permission information indicating specific user permissions assigned to particular items of a plurality of items in an inventory of data center resources, wherein items of the plurality of items are organized in a hierarchical manner across nodes of a hierarchical tree. Embodiments include assigning categories to the plurality of items based on the permission information, wherein each of the particular items is assigned a unique category based on the specific user permissions and each of the plurality of items that is not in the particular items and that has a parent node in the hierarchical tree is assigned a category corresponding to the parent node. Embodiments include storing category information in a data store based on the assigning of the categories.

Abstract: A method of deploying an agent platform on an agent platform appliance, wherein the agent platform connects management appliances to cloud services executing on a cloud platform, includes the steps of: initiating a sequence of steps to deploy the agent platform on the agent platform appliance; executing the sequence of steps up to a particular checkpoint, and continuing execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint; during the continued execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint, detecting an error; determining that the detected error is a recoverable error; and in response to the determining that the detected error is a recoverable error, resuming execution of the sequence of steps from the particular checkpoint.

Abstract: Scalar values are assigned to hierarchically-arranged items of inventory of one or more data centers, which may be physical or software-defined, based on the positions of the inventory items in the hierarchy. The scalar values are assigned to the items such that they have increasing values when the items are traversed during a depth-first search of the hierarchy. With this assignment, items of inventory to which a user has access permissions, or any other type of permissions, can be specified as one or more ranges of the scalar values, and such items can be determined from the specified one or more ranges.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for communicating over a 60 GHz band and reusing legacy hardware for communication over sub-6 bands. Certain aspects are directed to outputting, for transmission to a second wireless device, a first packet, wherein the first packet is output via a radio frequency (RF) front end defined by a first clock accuracy requirement having an acceptable error rate that is lower than a legacy clock accuracy requirement, and wherein the first packet is output for transmission via a first band. Certain aspects are directed to obtaining, from the second wireless device, a second packet via the first band.

Abstract: A cloud service for managing an agent platform appliance is configured to issue commands to an agent platform management agent deployed on the agent platform appliance to upgrade the agent platform appliance to a desired version. Upon receipt of this command, the agent platform management agent carries out a method of updating the agent platform appliance, which includes: determining that a current version of the agent platform appliance does not match the desired version, determining connectivity to a repository that stores bits for updating the agent platform appliance to the desired version, requesting a first agent to perform a first pre-update check and a second agent to perform a second pre-update check, and after the first pre-update check and the second pre-update check have passed, requesting an appliance management service running on the agent platform appliance to perform an update of the agent platform appliance to the desired version.

Abstract: A method and an electronic device for generating activity reminder in Internet of Things (IoT) environment are provided. The method includes identifying movement of user towards an object in the IoT environment, predicting first intended activity of the user, associated with the object based on one or more factors, determining occurrence of one or more interrupts before performing the first intended activity, detecting movement of the user away from the object subsequent to the occurrence of the one or more interrupts and before performing the first intended activity, and generating activity reminder to the user, indicating to perform the first intended activity when the user does not move towards the object for a pre-determined time period.
