    Abstract: A method for Internet of Things (IoT) network security includes collecting information for each network device (device), determining a minimum viable resource allocation for each device based on the information, which defines the minimum resources needed by each device to engage the IoT network and handle data, and for each device, distributing minimum viable resource allocations and rules, determining monitoring sets, monitoring using the monitoring set, collecting updated information based partially on the monitoring set, analyzing the updated information to determine trends and insights relative to the devices and the IoT network, updating the monitoring set, minimum viable resource allocation, and rules based on the analyzed updated information, checking compliance with a current minimum viable resource allocation and rules, identifying devices having violations, and performing same on a continuous as it and automatic basis. The method establishes and maintains a chain of custody for data traversing through multiple network segments.

    Abstract: Both wireless communication and communications via a cable modem are supported between a network node and a customer premises. Alternative communications links provide redundancy and the possibility to take advantage of the different types of links capacity to provide a level of service that would not be possible using a single communications link to a customer premises. In various embodiments a network node, such as a cable network node hubsite, has an optical connection to the Internet or another communications network and provides network access to one or a plurality of customer premises. The network node includes a wireless access point, e.g., pole mounted base station, as well as one or more cable modem interfaces to thereby allow for both wireless and cable modem based communications. This allows for packets of different applications to traverse different links and/or to switch between links in the event of maintenance or reliability issues.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for unified high-bandwidth, low-latency data services provided with enhanced user mobility. In one embodiment, a network architecture having service delivery over at least portions of extant infrastructure (e.g., a hybrid fiber coax infrastructure) is disclosed, which includes standards-compliant ultra-low latency and high data rate services (e.g., 5G NR services) via a common service provider. In one variant, an expanded frequency band (e.g., 1.6 GHz in total bandwidth) is used over the coaxial portions of the HFC infrastructure, which is allocated to two or more sub-bands. Wideband amplifier apparatus are used to support delivery of the sub-bands to extant HFC network nodes (e.g., hubs or distribution points) within the network. Premises devices are used to provide the 5G-based services to users at a given premises and thereabouts. In another variant, local area (e.g., “pole mounted”) radio devices are used to provide supplemental RF coverage, including during mobility scenarios.

    Abstract: A wireless system as discussed herein includes a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device transmits first wireless communications over a first wireless communication link to a first wireless access point. The mobile communication device receives a notification such as from the first wireless access point. The notification indicates power information associated with the first wireless access point receiving wireless communications from the mobile communication device. The wireless communications over the first wireless communication link are encoded in accordance with a first wireless communication protocol. A connection management resource associated with the mobile communication device controls handoff of the mobile communication device from the first wireless access point to a second wireless access point based on the notification. The second wireless access point supports communication with the mobile communication device via a second wireless communication protocol.
