Abstract:
Provided is a method in a device under configuration (DUC) for communicating with a remote device over a wireless local area network. The method comprises transmitting a beacon to a remote device, providing a first security key to the remote device using first security measures, authenticating the remote device using second security measures, receiving encrypted secrets from the remote device, and obtaining network access using the secrets. Also, provided is a method of providing network access information over a wireless network. The method comprises identifying a device under configuration (DUC) from information contained in a beacon transmitted by the DUC, retrieving a public KEY from the DUC, authenticating the DUC using first security measures, encrypting secrets, and transmitting encrypted commands to the DUC.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques relating to angle of arrival (AoA) reverse locationing include: transmitting, by a first wireless device to a second wireless device, one or more reverse tracking service discovery messages via a wireless communication link; receiving, at the first wireless device from the second wireless device, one or more response messages associated with the one or more reverse tracking service discovery messages, wherein the one or more response messages comprise (i) information indicating that the second wireless device is enabled for reverse tracking, and (ii) angle of arrival (AoA) information based on AoA calculations performed by the second wireless device; and determining, by the first wireless device, a location of the second wireless device based on the received AoA information.
Abstract:
A host assembly of a wireless device enters into a handshaking procedure with firmware of the wireless device to initiate entry into or exit from a host sleep mode. Before such entry or exit, the handshaking procedure may require the host assembly to send an initiation handshake signal to the firmware, and require the firmware to send a confirmation handshake signal back to the host assembly. Entry or exit may be delayed until after the confirmation signal is received. The confirmation signal may vary depending on the handshaking configuration and activation data, and the confirmation signal may vary depending on whether the wireless device is in a power save mode or not.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products are described for transferring aggregated data packets over an I/O interface from a host to a multiport embedded device. For example, a method includes receiving, by the device from the host, a single write command that (i) specifies two or more ports from among multiple ports of the device, and (ii) includes two or more data packets to be respectively written to the specified ports. The multiple ports of the device are mapped to corresponding locations of memory of the device. The method further includes saving, by the device in response to the single write command, the two or more data packets at two or more memory locations to which the specified ports are mapped. Additionally, the method includes sending, upon saving the data packets, a single notification to the host indicating that the device is ready to receive another write command.
