    Abstract: A method for registering and provisioning an electronic device is provided. The method includes a step of inserting a first keypair into a secure element of the electronic device. The first keypair includes a public key and a private key. The method further includes a step of requesting, from a remote server configured to register and provision connected devices, a provisioning of credentials of the electronic device. The method further includes a step of verifying, by the remote server, the electronic device credentials. The method further includes a step of registering, by the remote server, the electronic device. The method further includes a step of transmitting, from the remote server to the electronic device, a device certificate. The method further includes steps of installing the transmitted device certificate within the secure element of the electronic device, and provisioning the electronic device according to the installed device certificate.

    Abstract: A torque sleeve for a connector includes a slip ring, a torque ring, a torque spring, and an outer shell. The slip ring includes at least one axial movement inhibiting structure, and a plurality of first teeth having a first sawtooth pattern disposed in an axial direction of the torque sleeve. The torque ring includes at least one radial movement inhibiting structure, and a plurality of second teeth having a second sawtooth pattern disposed in an axial direction of the torque sleeve facing the plurality of first teeth. The torque spring is configured to apply a spring force against the torque ring to encourage movement of the torque ring toward the slip ring. The outer shell is configured to house the slip ring, the torque ring, and the torque spring within the torque sleeve.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for quantum key distribution (QKD) in passive optical networks (PONs) are described. A PON may be a point-to-multipoint system and may include a central node in communication with multiple remote nodes. In some cases, each remote node may include a QKD transmitter configured to generate a quantum pulse indicating a quantum key, a synchronization pulse generator configured to generate a timing indication of the quantum pulse, and filter configured to output the quantum pulse and the timing indication to the central node via an optical component (e.g., an optical splitter, a cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) router). The central node may receive the timing indications and quantum pulses from multiple remote nodes. Thus, the central node and remote nodes may be configured to communicate data encrypted using quantum keys.

    Abstract: An optical network communication system utilizes a passive optical network including an optical hub having an optical line terminal, downstream transmitter, an upstream receiver, a processor, and a multiplexer. The upstream receiver includes a plurality of TWDMA upstream subreceivers. The system includes a power splitter for dividing a coherent optical signal from the optical hub into a plurality of downstream wavelength signals, a long fiber to carry the coherent optical signal between the optical hub and the power splitter, and a plurality of serving groups. Each serving group includes a plurality of optical network units configured to (i) receive at least one downstream wavelength signal, and (ii) transmit at least one upstream wavelength signal. The system includes a plurality of short fibers to carry the downstream and upstream wavelength signals between the power splitter and the optical network units, respectively. Each upstream subreceiver receives a respective upstream wavelength signal.

    Abstract: A wireless communications system provides coordinated multi point transmission over a channel of a wireless transmission medium. The system includes a central controller having a processor and a memory, a first cell region having a first communications node disposed therein, and a plurality of neighboring cell regions disposed about the first cell region. Each of the plurality of neighboring cell regions includes a second communications node disposed therein. The system includes a plurality of user equipment devices disposed within an overlapping region of the first cell region and one of the neighboring cell regions. The central controller is configured to assign the first communications node to be an anchor transmission point of a coordinated set of transmission points. The anchor transmission point is configured to perform carrier sensing on the channel. The coordinated set of transmission points includes the first communications node and at least one second communications node.
