A first aspect of the invention concerns the form factor of the enhanced antenna; a second aspect of the invention concerns the ease with which the enhanced antenna is manufactured; and a third aspect concerns the superior performance exhibited by the enhanced antenna across one or more bandwidths.
Abstract:
A system includes a sensor platform, a motor capable of moving the sensor platform, a set of interfaces to receive messages from a set of mobile computing devices attached to the sensor platform, and a circuitry attached to the sensor platform in communication with the motor. A method may include obtaining a path that traverses a region that receives wireless signals from at least one access point of a plurality of access points and controlling the motor to move the sensor platform along the path. The method may include collecting a set of wireless signal values and determining whether the set of wireless signal values satisfy a set of anomaly criteria at a location of the sensor platform. The method may include stopping the motor at a location associated with the satisfaction of the set of anomaly criteria and storing the location in a set of locations.
Abstract:
Introduced here are approaches to mitigating the desensitization and intermodulation effects that can affect telecommunication performance of multiband electronic devices. Specifically, the present disclosure outlines an approach to mitigating the coexistence effect at the system level using tunable filters that are implemented or controlled via software.
Abstract:
Introduced here are technologies for securely booting a network access device or a satellite device. A network-accessible server system may receive a boot request that includes a boot certificate to identify the network access device. The network-accessible server system may determine that the boot certificate corresponds with a verified boot certificate listed on a boot certificate registry. The network-accessible server system may determine that a geographical location of the network access device and a user electronic application executing on an electronic device are within a predetermined range. The network-accessible server system may distribute a digital certificate to the network access device based on determining that the boot certificate corresponds with any verified boot certificate listed on the boot certificate registry and determining that the geographical location of the network access device and the user electronic application executing on the electronic device are within the predetermined range.
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to adaptive encoding of video streams from a camera. A camera system includes a camera and a base station connected to each other in a first communication network, which can be a wireless network. When a user requests to view a video from the camera, the base station obtains an encoded video stream from the camera and transmits the encoded video stream to a user device. The base station monitors multiple environmental parameters, such as network parameters, camera parameters, and system parameters of the base station, and instructs the camera to adjust the encoding of the video stream, in an event one or more environmental parameters change.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include a monitoring system. The monitoring system includes a wireless device and a holding structure. The wireless device includes communications circuitry that enables wireless communications of data obtained locally by the wireless device, and an antenna coupled to the communications circuitry and configured to radiate signals including information indicative of the obtained data. The holding structure includes an engagement member configured to detachably engage the wireless device, an attachment member configured to detachably attach the engaged wireless device to a surface of an object monitored by the wireless device, and an antenna enhancing structure disposed inside the holding structure and configured to mitigate interference by the surface of the object on the signals radiated by the antenna.
Abstract:
A wireless station implements a technique to reduce the occurrence of collisions between messages in a wireless network by dynamically modify a message interval during a communication session, based on received information indicative of beacon timing. The technique can be implemented by an access point on a wireless local area network to reduce collisions of beacon transmissions. The received information can include information indicative of beacon timing of other wireless stations, difficulty of a wireless station in receiving beacon transmissions, device capabilities, and/or other information.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include a method performed by a cloud system for changing a registration of a network access device. The method includes initiating a change of a registration of a network access device. The registration is stored at a cloud system and indicates ownership of the network access device by a first user. The method further includes receiving an authorization from the first user to dissociate the ownership of the network access device by the first user, and receiving an indication of a physical reset occurring locally at the network access device. The physical reset allows the first user to dissociate the ownership of the network access device. The method further includes, upon receiving both the authorization by the first user and the indication of the physical reset, releasing the ownership by the first user of the network access device at the cloud system.
