Abstract: The technology searches for and activates an eSIM profile on a wireless communication device. One or more processors of the wireless communication device identify a geographic location associated with the device and at least one carrier that provides a wireless network communication service to the geographic location of the device. The device sends an inquiry to at least one subscription server associated with the at least carrier to determine if the at least one subscription server stores an electronic identity module (eSIM) profile associated with a unique identifier of the device. The inquiry includes the unique identifier of the device. The device receives a response from the at least one subscription server indicating that the at least one subscription server stores the eSIM profile associated with the unique identifier of the device. The device displays a prompt to a user indicating that the eSIM profile stored on the at least one subscription server is available for download.

Abstract: Address resolution information acquisition (ARIA) for a computing device is described. In some examples, ARIA includes a computing device (e.g., an Internet of things (IoT) node, a gateway, a server) determining, without use of an address resolution protocol (ARP), address resolution information of one or more other computing devices (e.g., a IoT node, a gateway, a server). In one example, the computing device uses data flowing to or from its application layer, transport layer, or network layer to determine address resolution information of another computing device. The address resolution information can comprise one or more of a link layer address (e.g., a media access control (MAC) address) and an Internet layer address (e.g., an Internet protocol (IP) address). Usage of a cache for storing or deleting address resolution information can also be part of ARIA.

Abstract: A method of charging a power harvested supply in an electronic communication device, which can be an NFC (near field communication) device. The power harvested supply in the electronic communication device is charged without causing dV/V violation and avoids false wake up. An RF (radio frequency) field is received at the antenna of the electronic communication device. A differential voltage is generated from the RF field at a first tag pin and a second tag pin of the electronic communication device. A bandgap reference voltage and a reference current are generated in response to the differential voltage. A shunt current is generated in response to the differential voltage and the bandgap reference voltage. A bank of switching devices is activated if the shunt current is more than the reference current.

Abstract: A method of operating a node of a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a data frame having a header with plural addresses. The node determines if a first address of the plural addresses is an address of a descendant of the node and if a second address of the plural addresses is a parent address of the node. If so, the node changes a second address of the plural addresses to its own address in response to the step of determining. The node then transmits the data frame to at least one descendant of the node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved access point discoverability in multi-role multi-channel devices are described. When the multi-role multi-channel device leaves an AP role and then later returns to the AP role, such as when operating in another role, the multi-role multi-channel device sends a unicast probe response to the stations in a predetermined list. The unicast probe response is transmitted even without receiving a corresponding probe request. If one of the stations on the list is in the area and would like to connect to the AP role, it can complete the connection process using information in the response message.
