Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a network device, a search key from a global search initiated at a mobile device, the network device in communication with the mobile device via a proxy operable to retrieve the search key from a packet transmitted from the mobile device, performing a search at the network device for local content associated with the search key, and transmitting the local content from the network device for display on the mobile device. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method includes monitoring, at one or more wireless network access elements, signal strength of signals transmitted by respective neighboring wireless network access elements. Information is collected from said wireless network access elements and converted into reportable data about signal strength observed during the monitoring. The method further includes identifying, based at least in part on interference associated with concurrent signal transmissions of the wireless network access elements, a combination of channel assignments for the one or more wireless network access elements from a plurality of possible combinations of channel assignments and assigning channels for concurrent, respective use by said wireless network access elements based on the identified combination of channel assignments.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a network device, a request from a mobile device to connect to a wireless local area network, inserting mobile device and network attributes into the request, transmitting the request from the network device to an authentication proxy comprising a policy filter, and receiving a response to the request and offloading mobile data to the wireless local area network if the request is allowed. The policy filter is configured to filter requests received at the authentication proxy based on the attributes and a network policy for offloading mobile data to the wireless local area network. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
