Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to apparatus, software and methods for thwarting radio spoofing techniques by requiring and sending data from multiple radios positioned such that the receiving client can determine that it came from multiple spatially separated radios due to the Angle of Arrival of each radio's signal.

Abstract: A wireless transceiver includes an access point and a dynamic frequency selection unit. The access point is configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one Wi-Fi user equipment and monitor a target band for energy signatures of a radio frequency operation within the target band. The dynamic frequency selection unit is configured to (i) receive a detected energy signature from the target band, (ii) determine whether the detected energy signature corresponds to a known radio frequency operation within a vicinity of a location of the access point or represents a false positive, and (iii) control the operation of the access point within the target band based on the determination.

Abstract: A method for reducing communication network congestion includes (1) obtaining, from a first communication device, a scan of a first communication channel for presence of a first network identifier, (2) determining, from the scan of the first communication channel, that the first network identifier is being broadcasted on the first communication channel by a communication device other than the first communication device, and (3) in response to determining that the first network identifier is being broadcasted on the first communication channel, inhibiting broadcasting of the first network identifier on the first communication channel by the first communication device.

Abstract: Facilitating backhaul between multiples access points (APs) using ducts or other bounded passageways within a building, dwelling, etc. is contemplated. The backhaul may be utilized to facilitate exchange of data obtained by the APs through fronthaul with one or more clients. The data exchanged between the APs through backhaul may be referred to as ducthauling.

Abstract: Steering clients between access points (APs) or other sources of wireless signaling is contemplated. The client steering may be used to supplant or augment roaming capabilities of the clients with independent steering decisions made at the APs such as by utilizing information shared between the APs to generate a steering threshold for use in assessing whether clients should be steered from one AP to another.

Abstract: Systems and methods enhance handling, within an access point (AP) of a local area network, of content from a content provider. A content session core of the AP opens a session with the content provider and allows interaction between a user of a first end device and the content provider via the session. Content from the content provider is received at the content session core and forwarded for play on the first end device. The content session core may mirror the content to a second real end device without requiring an additional session with the content provider, and may switch play of the content from the first to the second end devices without disconnecting the session with the content provider. A wireless LAN controller enhances a connectivity experience of a mobile device by determining its location and predicting when to handoff connectivity between wireless APs of the LAN.
