    Abstract: Transmitting from a wireless router a live stream of time stamped multimedia packets from a server which is capable of providing a system time clock value is disclosed. The wireless router includes a queue for storing the time stamped multimedia packets received from the live streaming server. The wireless router also includes a processor for analyzing the priority of the time stamped multimedia packets stored in the queue, for comparing the time stamps to the system time clock value, for calculating a transmission time to a video client, and for determining a transmission window to transmit the time stamped multimedia packets. The time stamped multimedia packets are discarded if the packets cannot be transmitted within the transmission window, or the time stamped packets are immediately transmitted if they can be transmitted within the transmission window. The priority of the packets in queue may be re-sorted prior to transmission.

    Abstract: During operation, an access point compares a communication performance metric of the access point and a parameter corresponding to communication performance metrics of one or more second access points. For example, the access point may determine the communication performance metric based on communication with one or more electronic devices and/or may receive information specifying the communication performance metrics of the one or more second access points. Then, the access point selectively provides a recommendation for a first connected electronic device in the one or more electronic devices based at least in part on the comparison and a history of responses of at least the first connected electronic device to one or more previous recommendations, where the recommendation indicates that the first connected electronic device, which is associated with the access point, transition to a different communication channel.

    Abstract: A method is provided for generating a key ladder for securely communicating between a first device and a second device using a first device symmetric key and a chip-unique private key. The method includes generating a second processor-specific first device symmetric key from a first processor-specific first device symmetric key and a first identifier (CPU_ID), generating a chip-unique first device application private key (CUAPrK) from a second identifier and the second processor-specific first device symmetric key, generating a chip-unique first device application public key (CUAPuK) from the chip-unique first device application private key (CUAPrK), and transmitting the chip-unique first device application public key (CUAPuK) and an identifier of the processor to the second device.

    Abstract: A system includes a housing (105) that includes one or more ports (113) through which electrical connections to one or more electronic components situated within the housing can be made from exterior of the housing. At least one enclosure bushing (204) is coupled to at least one port. The enclosure bushing includes a cylindrical service jacket receiver (207) defining a lumen (208), a flange (212) abutting a portion of the housing, and one or more lugs (216,217,302,303) extending from a portion of the cylindrical service jacket receiver. A coupling nut (205) having one or more circumferential lug receivers (702,703,704,805) applies a compression force to the frustoconical weather gasket when the one or more lugs engaging the locking notch (708) of the one or more circumferential lug receivers.

    Abstract: During operation, an access point aggregates communication-performance information and behavior information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) corresponding to an electronic device, where the communication-performance information and the behavior information are aggregated over a time interval that is longer than an instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN. Then, the access point provides the communication-performance information and the behavior information to a second electronic device. After receiving information about another instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN, the access point provides a request to the second electronic device for historical information about communication performance and behavior of the electronic device in the WLAN. Moreover, after receiving the historical information, the access point selectively provides the transition recommendation in the WLAN to the electronic device, where the transition recommendation is based at least in part on the historical information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the encryption of a device identifier using an identification property of a SoC. A unique identifier of a cable modem may be encrypted using a unique key or other unique property of a SoC associated with the cable modem. When an authentication process is initiated at the cable modem, the encrypted unique identifier of the cable modem may be decrypted using the unique key or other unique property of the SoC, thereby producing the unique identifier of the cable modem. The decrypted unique identifier of the cable modem may be output from the cable modem to an upstream controller during the authentication process. In embodiments, an obfuscation key may be used to encrypt and decrypt the unique identifier of the cable modem, and the obfuscation key may be generated using a unique identifier of the SoC.

    Abstract: An electronic device that determines one or more antenna patterns is described. During operation, this electronic device may reserve N time slots in a communication channel. Then, the electronic device may provide predefined frames in the N time slots that are intended for the second electronic device, where each time slot is associated with a different antenna pattern of an antenna. For example, the predefined frames may include null data packets (NDPs), and the time slot may have an extremum value of a performance metric, such as a signal -to-noise ratio. Moreover, the electronic device may receive feedback associated with the second electronic device, where the feedback includes information specifying at least a time slot in the N time slots. Next, the electronic device may select, based at least in part on the feedback, an antenna pattern associated with the time slot for use when communicating with the second electronic device.

    Abstract: The methods and systems described in this disclosure are operable to facilitate control over user access to a device configuration page based upon a reception of a verification code through an associated dial pad. In response to a request for access to a configuration page associated with a device, the device may generate a verification code, and the device may output a prompt directing a user to dial the verification code at a dial pad associated with the device. If a valid entry of the verification code is received through the dial pad, the device may allow access to the configuration page. If a valid entry of the verification code is not received through the dial pad, the device may deny access to the configuration page.
