    Abstract: According to a first aspect there is provided a method of enabling an Internet device that is only awake periodically to receive communications sent when the device is not awake. The method comprises, at the device, during an initial awake period, establishing a connection to a peer of a RELOAD overlay network as a RELOAD client, and creating a dictionary resource at the RELOAD peer using the Node-ID of the device as the Resource-ID. Then, during a further awake period, establishing a connection to the RELOAD peer and obtaining any communications sent to the device during a sleeping period of the device by retrieving data from the dictionary resource stored at the RELOAD peer.

    Abstract: A method performed in a node comprised in a communication network is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a set of coordinates of a coordinate system used by the communication network, which set of coordinates specifies a geographical position held by the node. The method includes obtaining a first identifier for the node. The identifier comprises at least a part of the obtained set of coordinates, where the identifier can specify to the communication network a first geographical area in which the node is positioned. The method includes uploading data to a server in the communication network, the data being associated with the obtained identifier when uploaded to the server. The first identifier specifies to the network, such as other nodes in the communication network, a geographical area in which the node is positioned/located. The geographical area may be of any size, but includes the place where the node is positioned.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling write access by one or more accessing nodes to a resource within a Resource Location And Discovery, RELOAD, network. The methods and apparatus configured to: at a node owning the resource, obtain a public key of a peer responsible for the resource, encrypt a write key using the obtained public key and send the encrypted write key to the peer responsible for the resource; at the peer responsible for the resource, decrypt the write key; at an accessing node, sign data to be written to the resource using the write key and send a request to the peer responsible for the resource to write the signed data to the resource; and at the peer responsible for the resource, control write access to the resource based on the decrypted write key and the signed data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing the value of trash. By increasing the value of trash, persons have an incentive to collect litter and deposit the collected litter at an appropriate trash collection site (e.g., garbage can, reverse vending machine, recycling center, etc.). In one aspect, a financial instrument (e.g., a Bitcoin, Bitcoin-like value, account identifier, or any other financial instrument) or a pointer to a financial instrument is attached to the object itself or placed inside of the object in a way that is not easily extracted before appropriate time.
