Communication is established between a plurality of users through mobile computing devices. A server communicates with the mobile computing devices. Unique User Identifiers (UUIDs) are registered on the server through a network, and a database connected to the server stores the uploaded UUIDs and associated data. The server receives and sends communications to and from the mobile computing devices, receives UUIDs and associated data from mobile computing devices, and sends UUIDs and associated data to one or more mobile computing devices.

A transmitter and a method therein for transmitting discovery signals to a receiver. The transmitter and the receiver are comprised in a radio communications system. The transmitter transmits two or more discovery signals over two or more directions. Each discovery signal is configured to span over a fraction of a carrier bandwidth.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to reduce overhead and improve resource management by efficiently selecting RSMA spreading code for periodic traffic in IoE devices. For example, in accordance with one technique, the IoE device, during an initial access to the base station, may notify the base station of the traffic periodicity of the IoE device such that the base station may assign a spreading code from a dedicated pool that is not utilized during the periodic access of the device. Additionally or alternatively, another technique to reduce overhead and improve resource management may include the IoE devices broadcasting the selected RSMA spreading code that the IoE devices intends to use in discovery broadcasts (DBs) along with the IoE device traffic periodicity such that the IoE devices may autonomously manage selection of RSMA spreading code that avoids collisions for the same traffic periodicity.

Techniques described herein include a platform and process for provisioning user information onto a machine-to-machine device in order to enable the machine-to-machine device to conduct transactions utilizing the user information. In some embodiments, a user device is used to relay information between a machine-to-machine device and a provisioning service provider computer. In some embodiments, a machine-to-machine device is connected to the provisioning service provider computer via a network connection. Upon receiving a request to provision the machine-to-machine device, the service provider computer may identify the device from a device identifier. The service provider computer may generate an access credential or token for the machine-to-machine device. The access credential, token, and/or one or more policies may be provisioned onto the machine-to-machine device.

The disclosure describes techniques for enhancements to the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) to reduce Source Active (SA) message loops in one or more multicast domains having overlapping MSDP mesh groups. In some examples, a method includes receiving, by a first MSDP speaker, from a second MSDP speaker, a SA message. The method also includes, when the second MSDP speaker is in a mesh group with the first MSDP speaker, determining whether the first MSDP speaker includes an active SA state corresponding to the SA message. Additionally, the method includes, when the first MSDP speaker does not include the active SA state corresponding to the SA message, accepting the SA message and forwarding the SA message to a third MSDP speaker that is not in the mesh group with the first MSDP speaker and the second MSDP speaker.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for a wireless communication device to configure and indicate one or more beams for sidelink communication with another wireless communication device. The sidelink communication can include first stage sidelink control information (SCI) and second stage SCI that may be communicated on a first beam configured on the wireless communication devices. The sidelink communication can further include sidelink data traffic that may be communication on a second beam. The second beam may be the first beam or a different beam based on at least one of a beam capability of at least the first wireless communication device or a gap between the sidelink data traffic and at least one of the first stage SCI or the second stage SCI.

A set top box (STB) providing enhanced Wi-Fi coverage. The STB downloads and configures an extender service agent for implementing extender capability at the STB. pairing the extender service agent with a router, and providing extended wireless IP connectivity using a fronthaul connection via the antenna to clients in range of IP signals radiated by the antenna. When the STB uses a wired backhaul connection all of an available bandwidth is used for the fronthaul connection, and when a wireless backhaul connection is used, the available bandwidth is split between the backhaul connection and the fronthaul connection.

A communications method includes determining, by a first platoon member, at least one second platoon member, where the first platoon member and the at least one second platoon member belong to a same platoon, and signal quality of a communication link from the first platoon member to each second platoon member is less than a first preset quality threshold, determining, by the first platoon member, a target communications node, where signal quality of a communication link from the target communications node to each second platoon member is greater than or equal to the first preset quality threshold, and sending, by the first platoon member, to-be-sent data to each second platoon member through the target communications node.

Embodiments of this application provide a Bluetooth connection method, a system, and an electronic device. In the method, when a communication connection between an electronic device and a vehicle head unit is disconnected, the electronic device starts to scan a Bluetooth advertising signal. When a user carrying the electronic device is close to the vehicle head unit, the electronic device may obtain, through scanning, a Bluetooth advertising signal sent by the vehicle head unit. When obtaining, through scanning, the Bluetooth advertising signal sent by the vehicle head unit, the electronic device may start a vehicle manufacturer application when the vehicle manufacturer application is cleared by a system. The electronic device may reconnect to the vehicle head unit through Bluetooth by using the vehicle manufacturer application and a Bluetooth chip. Embodiments of this application can improve convenience of unlocking in a scenario in which a vehicle is insensibly unlocked.

Provided are an initial access method, a controlled device and a controlling device, which can realize initial access in short-range communication without depending on a PRACH preamble. The initial access method comprises: a controlled device acquiring an initial access resource; the controlled device sending, on the initial access resource, initial access information to a controlling device; and the controlled device monitoring access feedback information sent by the controlling device, wherein the access feedback information is used for indicating that the controlled device has successfully accessed the controlling device.
