    Abstract: A mobile device can include ranging circuitry to determine distance to another mobile device. A first wireless protocol can establish an initial communication session to perform authentication and/or exchange ranging settings. A second protocol can perform ranging, and other wireless protocols can transmit content. In one example, the distance information can be used to display a relative position of another device on a user interface of a sending device. The user interface can allow a user to quickly and accurately select the recipient device for sending the data item. As another example, the distance information obtained from ranging can be used to trigger a notification (e.g., a reminder) to be output from a first mobile device or used to display a visual indicator on a receiving device. Proximity of a device (e.g., as determined by a distance) can be used to suggest recipient for a new communication.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for authenticating devices. The systems and methods may include detecting, by a sensor on a wearable device, at least one cloud anchor that includes an identifier associated with a network and configured for a physical environment. In response to detecting that a location associated with the at least one cloud anchor is within a threshold distance of the wearable device and detecting that the wearable device has access to the at least one cloud anchor, triggering extraction of the identifier from the at least one cloud anchor. The systems and methods may also include joining the wearable device to the network based on a received authentication corresponding to the extracted identifier.
