Abstract:
A method comprising: identifying characteristic changes in radio environment arising from a person; and using the identified characteristic changes in radio environment arising from a person to predict when a person approaches a display apparatus and to pre-fetch data for the person.
Abstract:
An extension to ANDSF management object as defined in TS 23.312 is provided to support adhoc network connection establishment like WF-Fi direct or WLAN direct. In some example embodiments there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a user equipment, a network selection policy, wherein the network selection policy indicates whether the user equipment is allowed to or inhibited from operating in accordance with a local service network; allowing, at the user equipment when the received network selection policy indicates an allowance, transmission via the local service network; and inhibiting, at the user equipment when the received network selection policy indicates an inhibition, transmission via the local service network. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
Abstract:
In some example embodiments there is provided a method. The method may include sending, by a user equipment having a connection to a service at a cloud-based server, a publication message to a local cluster comprising at least one other user equipment and the user equipment, wherein the publication message offers to share, with the at least one other user equipment, the connection; receiving, by the user equipment, a request from the at least one other user equipment to access the connection made available by the user equipment, when the at least one other user equipment lacks connectivity to the service at the cloud-based server; and sending, by the user equipment, a response message indicating to the at least one other user equipment whether the at least one other user equipment is allowed to access the connection made available by the user equipment.
Abstract:
Embodiments enable privacy protection for increasing service anonymity. A method comprises receiving a service discovery frame from a wireless device operating synchronously in a neighbor awareness network cluster, including scrambled values associated with service names, each of the scrambled values being a hash of an argument comprising the service name and a component value selected based on a current synchronous time shared with the wireless device. The received scrambled values are compared with scrambled values associated with maintained service names, each being a hash of an argument comprising a valid service name of a known service and a component value selected based on the current synchronous time. If any of the received scrambled values satisfies the comparison with a scrambled value associated with the service name, then the received scrambled value is determined to be associated with the known service.
