    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for smart sockets in a communication network. A smart socket can be implemented to monitor one or more power quality characteristics of a power supply providing energy to the smart home environment. Smart sockets implemented to monitor power quality characteristics can sense when power fluctuations are present in the power supply, and shut down connected devices to prevent damage. A plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to optimize power utilization when the smart home environment is operating on backup power, during low electricity tariff periods, or when operating on a renewable energy source. The plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to autonomously schedule tasks based on a context of operation of other devices in the smart home environment. The plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to achieve configurable energy targets for the smart home environment.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for detecting a security threat in a wireless mesh network. In an aspect, a monitoring device in the wireless mesh network detects a first message transmitted by a source node in the wireless mesh network to a destination node in the wireless mesh network via at least one relay node in the wireless mesh network, collects information from the first message as it is transmitted in the wireless mesh network, determines that the first message has been corrupted based on analysis of the information from the first message, and detects the security threat in the wireless mesh network based on the first message being corrupted.

    Abstract: A method for secure path discovery in a mesh network at a destination device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a path discovery request from an originator device and selecting a path selection in response to the path discovery request. The method also includes transmitting the path selection to the originator device and receiving a random seed from a provisioner device. The method also includes generating an authentication code based on the random seed, transmitting an authentication code message to an originator device and receiving communications from the originator device only if the originator device receives a verification response message from the provisioner device which confirms that the destination device has been verified.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for establishing an encrypted connection between a first node and a second node in a wireless mesh network. In an aspect, the first node receives, from a provisioner node in the wireless mesh network, a first value encrypted with a device-specific encryption key known only to the first node and the provisioner node, wherein the second node receives, from the provisioner node, the first value encrypted with a second device-specific encryption key, generates a friendship-specific encryption key based on the first value, an identifier of the first node, and an identifier of the second node, wherein the second node generates the friendship-specific encryption key, sends, to the second node, a first message encrypted with the friendship-specific encryption key, and receives, from the second node, a second message encrypted with the friendship-specific encryption key.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may receive at least one signal from one or more second devices. The at least one signal may be received via a short-range communication protocol. The apparatus may determine a position of each of the one or more second devices relative to the first device based at least in part on a reference vector associated with each of the at least one signal and a reference point associated with either the first device or each of the one or more second devices. The apparatus may adjust one or more output parameters based at least in part on the position of each of the one or more second devices relative to the first device. The apparatus may output one or more audio packets using the adjusted one or more output parameters.
