Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for communicating policy changes in a Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) based network deployment include receiving, at a first routing device, a first notification from a map server, the first notification indicating a change in a policy for LISP based communication between at least a first endpoint device and at least a second endpoint device, the first endpoint device being connected to a network fabric through the first routing device and the second endpoint device being connected to the network fabric through a second routing device. The first routing device forwards a second notification to the second routing device if one or more entries of a first map cache implemented by the first routing device are affected by the policy change, the second notification indicating a set of one or more endpoints connected to the second routing device that are affected by the policy change.

A communication apparatus complying with an IEEE802.11 series standard, determines, based on information received from another communication apparatus connected to the communication apparatus, whether UL MU (Uplink Multiuser) communication of the other communication apparatus is enabled or disabled, acquires, from the other communication apparatus by a method according to a result of the determination, a BQR (Bandwidth Query Report) representing a state of a communication resource usable by the other communication apparatus, and decides the communication resource used to communicate with the other communication apparatus based on the acquired BQR.

The present invention relates to communications methods, apparatus and systems for providing media micro-services in a scalable and efficient manner. In an exemplary method embodiment, a packet plane control service entity performs the following operations: (i) receives a request from a Signaling-Session Border Controller to implement one or more micro-services on a media packet stream, the request including information about the media packet stream including stream identification information; generates instructions for one or more entities under the control of the packet plane control service entity to implement the requested one or more micro-services on the media packet stream; and communicates the generated instructions to the one or more entities under the control of the packet plane control service entity for implementation on the media packet stream.

The disclosure relates to method and system for geographic routing mesh network. The method may include determining, by a first node, a first list of nodes proximal to the first node in a mesh network. The method further includes sending, by the first node to each node on the first list of nodes, the first list of nodes proximal to the first node. The method(s) further includes receiving, by the first node in response to sending the first list of nodes, one or more second list of nodes from one or more nodes of the first list of nodes, each of the one or more second list of nodes being proximal to one of the one or more nodes of the first list of nodes and updating, by the first node in response to receiving one or more second list of nodes proximal to the one more nodes of the first list of nodes, one or more nodes of the first list of nodes.

Set of devices adapted to form a local network (3), the set comprising at least one first communication device (1) and multiple second communication devices (2), wherein the first and the second communication devices comprise a short-range communication module (4) to communicate in the local network (3) via a hopping mechanism, and wherein the first communication device additionally comprises a long-distance communication module (5) to communicate with a remote server (6), wherein each one of the second communication devices (2) comprises a memory adapted to store a hopping distance to the first communication device wherein the second communication device is configured to execute actions based on said hopping distance in said power cutoff mode.

Embodiments of this application disclose a radio frequency resource allocation method, apparatus, device, system, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining radio frequency information of an access point AP (for example, RSSI signal strength between the AP and each neighboring AP, and data traffic of the AP in a data collection period), predicting, based on the radio frequency information of the AP, load of the AP that is in target duration after a current moment, and allocating a radio frequency resource to the AP based on the load of the AP. This implementation can reduce actual interference on an entire network and improve user experience.

The present application relates to communications between a partner network and a wide area network (WAN) via the Internet. Although Internet service providers may act as autonomous systems, the WAN may control routing from the partner network by advertising unicast border gateway protocol (BGP) address prefixes for a plurality of front-end devices in the WAN. An agent in the partner network measures a plurality of paths to a service within the WAN. Each of the plurality of paths is associated with one of the plurality of front-end devices and a respective unicast BGP address prefix. The WAN selects a path within the WAN for the service. The WAN exports a routing rule to the agent. The agent forwards data packets for the service to the respective BGP address prefix via the Internet. The WAN receives data packets for the service of the partner network at the selected device.

Examples described herein relate to transitioning a playback session between portable playback devices such as “smart” headphones, earbuds, and handheld speakers with playback devices of a zone-based media playback system. Exemplary techniques facilitate continuity of playback when transitioning between locations (e.g., from at home to on-the-go or vice versa) or between listening paradigms (e.g., personal or out-loud playback of audio content). An example implementation includes detecting a swap trigger, determining the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s), and performing a playback session swap between the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s).

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and apparatus for training a smart device to recognize events in an indoor or outdoor venue. The smart device can execute program code for generating a specialized user interface. The smart device can record a target event in the venue or control another smart device to record the target event. The smart device can process the recording of the target event to generate an event signature. A unique tag for the recorded event can be generated, and the event signature and the unique tag can be transmitted to cloud storage. The smart device can receive event recordings from other smart devices in the venue and compare the event recordings to the event signatures in cloud storage. The smart device can generate at least one user or device prompt regarding the target event when the event recording matches an event signature.
