Abstract: Access point devices can be equipped with Machine Learning (ML) models to improve access point device operations. An access point device operating mode can be sent to a controller. The access point device operating mode can indicate multiple network protocols employed at the access point device. The controller can provide a coarse ML model to the access point device, wherein the coarse ML model is based on the operating mode. The access point device can then use local network traffic data, processed by the access point device, to train and refine the coarse ML model, and the access point device can use the resulting trained ML model in connection with network traffic processing determinations.

Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, methods, and processes for managing roaming actions in a wireless network. The embodiments utilize a machine learning model to generate roaming recommendations based on a plurality of roaming-related metrics. The metrics include data about the current network conditions, the station's previous roaming experiences, and the capabilities of potential roaming target candidates. The roaming recommendations can be provided to a station by an access point (AP). The station can then attempt to perform a roaming action based on the recommendations. After the attempt, the station transmits a roaming feedback to the AP, which includes data about the success or failure of the roaming action and any additional relevant data. In case the station rejects the roaming recommendations, the station may also provide a feedback indicating the rejection. The feedback is utilized to update the machine learning model, thereby improving the accuracy of future roaming recommendations.

Abstract: Charging for Ambient Power (AMP) devices and, in particular, AMP Backscatter Devices (BKDs) may be provided. AMP device charging may include a transmitting device transmitting an initial charging frame, the initial charging frame comprising a payload for charging. The transmitting device may detect a BKD in response to transmitting the initial charging frame. The transmitting device may then determine a new payload for a new charging frame to charge the BKD and transmit the new charging frame to charge to the BKD.

Abstract: Backscatter Device (BKD) onboarding may be provided. BKD onboarding may begin with an AP receiving an identifier associated with a BKD. The AP may determine to onboard the BKD and transmit to the BKD an onboarding excitation signal to request data from a memory bank of the BKD. The AP may then receive a response to the onboarding excitation signal from the BKD. The AP may verify the BKD is valid based on the identifier and the response. Finally, the AP may onboard the BKD based on verifying the BKD is valid.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for double blind private Wi-Fi wireless networking using an authentication method (e.g., OpenRoaming) that allows the network to authenticate a user identity against an IDP (e.g. Apple ID), without disclosing any identifiable information about that user to the network, or any information about that user's location or behavior to the identity provider, by leveraging a double-blind method.

Abstract: A first access point of a wireless network minimizes Media Access Control (MAC) address collisions in the wireless network. The first access point receives an association request from a first wireless device. The association request identifies a first MAC address of the first wireless device. The first access point determines whether a second wireless device is associated with the wireless network using the first MAC address. Responsive to a determination that the second wireless device is associated with a second access point of the wireless network, the first access point obtains a virtual MAC address for the first wireless device. The first access point translates between the first MAC address and the virtual MAC address for network traffic of the first wireless device.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for scheduling Ultra-Wideband (UWB) anchors and mobile devices for client ranging. A control device can determine respective ranging priorities for a plurality of mobile devices, which are each assigned to at least one UWB anchor. The control device can obtain at least one collision mapping identifying, for a respective pair of the mobile devices, a collision probability that a UWB signal associated with a ranging procedure involving a first mobile device of the respective pair will collide with a UWB signal associated with a ranging procedure involving a second mobile device of the respective pair. The control device can establish a ranging schedule for the mobile devices and UWB anchors based on the respective UWB ranging priorities and the collision mapping(s). The control device can send at least one command to cause UWB ranging procedures to be performed according to the ranging schedule.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for complying with a data sovereignty policy of data routed through a satellite network. An example method includes identifying data comprising a data sovereignty label indicating a first geographical region; determining that a coverage region of a satellite includes a first ground station in the first geographical region; determining that coverage region excludes a second ground station in a second geographical region; and based on determining that the coverage area includes the first ground station and excludes the second ground station, transmitting the data to the satellite.
