A wireless communication terminal including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from an Access Point (AP). The controller is coupled to the wireless transceiver, and configures the wireless communication terminal to operate as a Station (STA) to associate with the AP in compliance with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard. Also, the controller receives a beacon frame indicating to disable an UL MU operation from the AP via the wireless transceiver, and enables the STA to operate in a contention mode for UL transmission in response to receiving the beacon frame indicating to disable the UL MU operation.

A mobile communication system capable of reducing energy consumption of a network node in a local area range. When judging that there is a shift trigger, a local eNB shifts from a normal operation to an energy saving operation. In the energy saving operation, the local eNB stops the operation of transmitting at least a part of downlink transmission signals to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) and performs the operation of receiving an uplink transmission signal transmitted from the UE. When judging that it has received the uplink transmission signal (RACH) in the energy saving operation, the local eNB shifts to the normal operation.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network experience shifting, and, in particular embodiments, using either a roaming or portable hypervisor associated with a user or a local hypervisor unassociated with the user. In some embodiments, a network node in a first network might receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a user device to establish roaming network access, and might authenticate a user associated with the user device, the user being unassociated with the first network access device. Based on a determination that the user is authorized to access data, content, profiles, and/or software applications that are accessible via a second network access device, the network node might establish a secure private connection through a hypervisor or container communicatively coupled to the first network access device to provide the user with access to her data, content, profiles, and/or software applications.

For systems that can include, but are not limited to telecommunications, content distribution, and internetworking, the technologies described herein are generally directed to deploying network services, e.g., for large inventories of network equipment, complex deployments, and different processes being handled by isolated and difficult to modify legacy systems. For example, a method described herein can include receiving, by operations support equipment comprising a processor, a provisioning request for a network provisioning task. The method can further include, based on the network provisioning task, selecting, by the operations support equipment, a logical provisioning model to facilitate processing the provisioning request. Further, the network can include, based on the logical provisioning model, identifying, by the operations support equipment, an infrastructure engine to provision network equipment corresponding to the network provisioning task.

In a telecommunication system comprising multiple switching nodes (10, 20, 30) having a respective local server (C1, C2, C3) and associated terminals (D1, D2, D3, D4) located within a network and a central DSS server (DSS) for controlling the telecommunication system by using a general switching protocol, the terminals (D1, D2, D3, D4) of a switching node (10, 20, 30) are controlled by the local server (C1, C2, C3) under a local protocol comprising control commands for node-internal call pickup. The pickup of a call directed from a third terminal (D4) to a first terminal (D3) assigned to a first switching node (10) through a second terminal (D1) assigned to another, second switching node (20) occurs across nodes by using the general switching protocol through transferring the control commands provided in the local protocol for call pickup to the general switching protocol and providing them across nodes through the central DSS server (DSS) to the multiple switching nodes (10, 20, 30) located within the network, and converting the registration of a terminal (D1, D2, D3, D4) for call pickup provided in the local protocol to the general switching protocol and forwarding it to the central DSS server.

A home appliance configured to be registered in a server, the home appliance includes: a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, based on the home appliance being registered in the server, communicatively connected to an access point (AP) and configured to periodically operate in an AP mode through a virtual interface, and a controller configured to control the Wi-Fi module to periodically operate in the AP mode. The Wi-Fi module is configured to generate a beacon signal to search for an unregistered home appliance based on the Wi-Fi module being operated in the AP mode.

Aspects described herein include a method for use with an access point (AP). The method comprises inspecting control frames received from a rogue AP, characterizing an intrusion by the rogue AP using one or more spatial reuse parameters included in the control frames, and selecting a defensive posture for the AP based on the characterization.

When a plurality of apparatuses each having a role of establishing a wireless network performs, in parallel, communication with a first apparatus having a role of joining a wireless network via a plurality of transmission channels, a communication apparatus controls, based on acquired information about a communication quality in communication between a second apparatus included in the plurality of apparatuses and the first apparatus, a transmission output of at least the second apparatus such that a difference between a communication quality in communication between an apparatus included in the plurality of apparatuses and different from the second apparatus and the first apparatus and a communication quality in communication between the second apparatus and the first apparatus becomes smaller. Alternatively, the communication apparatus determines at least one of a coding rate and a modulation scheme for use in communication between the second apparatus and the first apparatus based on the information.
