Abstract: Techniques to adaptively support/enable a wireless network feature for certain wireless client devices without hampering the performance or connectivity of wireless client devices which do not support that wireless network feature. An access point or wireless network controller adaptively enables a wireless network feature without advertising support for the wireless network feature in a wireless network-standard compliant manner to allow one or more wireless clients that support the wireless network feature to use the wireless network feature when associated to the access point while enabling association of one or more wireless clients that do not support the wireless network feature.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for managing a message relaying system are described. One technique includes an access point (AP) detecting a first signal and a second signal from a computing device. A validation of the first signal is performed based on parameters of the first signal and the second signal. After the validation, information associated with the first signal is transmitted to a computing system. In another technique, the computing system may designate one of multiple APs reporting information regarding first signals as a primary reporting AP and designate the remaining APs as secondary reporting APs. The computing system may instruct the secondary reporting APs to refrain from reporting information regarding first signals to the computing system.

Abstract: An authorization device obtains a registration request associated with an end device, the registration request including a new randomized media access control (MAC) address associated with the end device; determines whether the end device is authorized to use the new randomized MAC address; transmits a message to the end device with a first randomly generated number when it is determined that the end device is authorized to use the new randomized MAC address; obtains integrity information associated with the end device, the first integrity information being computed based on the first randomly generated number; transmits a request to a validation system to validate the end device based on the first integrity information; obtains an indication that the end device is validated; determines policies associated with the end device when it is determined that the end device is validated; and applies the policies to the end device.

Abstract: Wireless dynamic file exchange is provided by, in response to a triggering network condition occurring, initiating an exchange of a parameter file including non-layer two content via a 802.11 message, such as a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) message between an access point (AP) and a station (STA) connected to the AP; and in response to determining that the exchange was unsuccessful, terminating a connection between the AP and the STA. The parameter file may be sent over several messages and update the parameters for a new session or an existing session. Devices that do not conform to the updated parameters may be disassociated from the AP and re-connect to receive and implement the updated parameters.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method and related network device and computer program product. The method includes receiving a neighbor report that indicates whether a first network device in an environment is advertising broadcast services and generating, using the neighbor report, a broadcast optimization map that indicates a set of network devices in the environment that will provide a broadest coverage of broadcast services within the environment. The set corresponds to a minimum count of network devices that supports all current broadcast streams by one or more client devices in the environment.

Abstract: A user device connected to a wireless network maintains session persistence through a MAC address change of a user device. The user device establishes a multi-path communication session including a first subflow associated with a first MAC address for the user device. When the user device changes from the first MAC address to a second MAC address, the user device establishes a second subflow of the multi-path communication session. The second subflow is associated with the second MAC address. After establishing the second subflow associated with the second MAC address, the user device ends the first subflow associated with the first MAC address.

Abstract: Audio is captured from an online meeting and words being spoken by a participant during the online meeting from the audio are identified. One or more suggested next words or phrases to be spoken by the participant are determined based on the words being spoken by the participant and one or more scores associated with previous words spoken by the participant. The words being spoken by the participant and the one or more suggested next words or phrases are generated for display to the participant.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for client-driven Randomized and Changing Media Access Control (MAC) address (RCM) mechanisms. In one example, a wireless client is configured to wirelessly communicate with a wireless network. The wireless client obtains data relating to a level of security for one or more MAC addresses of the wireless client. Based on the data, the wireless client computes a score that represents the level of security for the one or more MAC addresses. Using the score, the wireless client determines when or how frequently to rotate the one or more MAC addresses. Based on determining when or how frequently to rotate the one or more MAC addresses, the wireless client rotates the one or more MAC addresses.

Abstract: Techniques to determine location-related data for a plurality of access points located in an area in communication with a network by determining that a plurality of access points in a network are associated with a same geographical area including identifying, from among the plurality of access points, a first access point associated with the geographical area, determining first location-related data for the first access point, determining second location-related data for a second access point, the second access point being interior to the first access point within the network based at least in part on a determination that the second access point has at least a threshold number of the neighbor access points, and exchanging ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements.
