    Abstract: The method comprises, at a multiple endpoint power level orchestrator, assigning a first group identifier to a first endpoint device and assigning a second group identifier to a second endpoint device. The first endpoint device includes a first directional antenna and the second endpoint device includes a second directional antenna. Moreover, the first directional antenna provides a first coverage area and the second directional antenna provides a second coverage area. Additionally, the first and second coverage areas provide an overlapping coverage area. The method further includes obtaining a first collision report including the first group identifier from the first endpoint device and obtaining a second collision report including the second group identifier from the second endpoint device. The method further includes providing respective transmission power level adjustments to one or more of the first or second endpoint devices according to satisfaction of a performance metric.

    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining, from a client device, a first set of application authentication credentials formatted in accordance with a first authentication protocol. The first set of application authentication credentials corresponds to a first user profile. The method includes translating the first set of application authentication credentials to a second set of application authentication credentials. The second set of application authentication credentials is formatted in accordance with a second authentication protocol different from the first authentication protocol and corresponds to the first user profile. The method includes providing the second set of application authentication credentials to an application authentication system. The method includes, in response to providing the second set of application authentication credentials to the application authentication system, obtaining, from the application authentication system, an application authentication indicator. In response to determining that the application authentication indicator indicates a successful authentication, granting the client device network access.

    Abstract: Various embodiments herein disclose scheduling relay of traffic. The method comprises, selecting a second client device from a plurality of client devices. The second client device is located in communication range of the first client device. The first client device is communicating a first portion of a data flow, via a first wireless link, with a first access point of the one or more access points. The method comprises, in response to determining satisfaction of one or more relay criteria: directing the first access point to generate a second wireless link with the second client device; and directing the first access point to provide first metadata including a first set of relay instructions. The first set of relay instructions instructs the second client device to relay a second portion of the data flow between the first access point and the first client device via the second wireless link.

    Abstract: Automatic onboarding of a device onto a cellular network may be provided through a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Subsequent to a device connecting to a first network (e.g., the WLAN), information associated with the device and the first network may be received. One or more tags may be generated and an intent profile may be defined for the device based on the received information, where the intent profile may indicate at least a second network (e.g., the cellular network) that the device is enabled to connect with and one or more policies associated with the connection. The tags and intent profile may be transmitted to a service provider platform, and an onboarding profile template identified using the tags and the intent profile may be received from the service provider platform. The onboarding profile template may be provided to the device to enable connection to the second network.

    Abstract: A method comprising obtaining, from a first wireless network characterized by a first radio access technology (RAT), a first set of wireless network policies. The first set of wireless network policies characterizes a first wireless channel provided to a client device by the first wireless network. The method includes obtaining, from a second wireless network characterized by a second RAT different from the first RAT, a second set of wireless network policies. The second set of wireless network policies characterizes a second wireless channel provided to the client device by the second wireless network. The method includes generating a set of aggregated policies by aggregating the first and second sets of wireless network policies based on one or more aggregation criteria. The method includes providing the set of aggregated policies. The set of aggregated policies directs the client device to steer traffic to the first and second wireless networks.
