A system generating, using a first addressable unit address decoder, a first addressable unit address based on an input address, an interleaving factor, and a number of first addressable units. The system then generating, using an internal address decoder, an internal address based on the input address, the interleaving factor, and the number of first addressable units. Generating the internal address includes: determining a lower address value by extracting lower bits of the internal address, determining an upper address value by extracting upper bits of the internal address, and adding the lower address value to the upper address value to generate the internal address. Using an internal power-of-two address boundary decoder and the internal address, the system then generating a second addressable unit address, a third addressable unit address, a fourth addressable unit address, and a fifth addressable unit address.

A country estimation device includes processing circuitry configured to collect path information for each IP address, extract attribute information assigned to the collected path information, and estimate a country where the IP address is located by referring to attribute information indicating a country at a link destination of a path of the path information among the extracted attribute information.

In one embodiment, a method includes generating predicted locations of each of a plurality of network addresses, wherein each predicted location is associated with a time stamp representing an age of the predicted location, determining a weighting factor representing a probability that at least one of the predicted locations of the network address corresponds to a true location of the network address based on location-related features associated with each network address and the time stamps, determining a weight for each predicted location based on at least the weighting factor, wherein the weight represents a probability that the predicted location corresponds to the true location of the network address, and providing one or more of the predicted locations that correspond to a particular network address based on the respective weights of the predicted locations in response to a request to identify a geographic location for the particular network address.

Systems and methods of registering geocodes with a geofence and delivering geocodes which define geofences to devices are described herein. Geocodes include strings of words, letters, numbers, and combinations thereof. Geocodes associated with the same or similar geofences are cohesive and provide for improved location information, with IP addresses being assigned to the geocodes.

A device management service at a provider network may assign a contextual identity to a newly installed device at a client network based on proximity of other devices to the new device. When a new device is installed on a client network, the device broadcasts a request for proximity data. When another device receives the request, it generates proximity data. For example, it may measure a strength of the radio signal received from the new device, which varies depending on how close the devices are. The new device receives proximity data from the other devices on the client network. The new device then transmits the proximity data to a device management service. The device management service uses an algorithm to determine an estimated location of the new device based on the proximity data. The device management service determines a contextual identity of the new device based on the estimated location.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data comprising network addresses, processing the received data based on veracity associated with the data, generating predicted locations of each network address based on the processed data, wherein the predicted locations are based on the veracity associated with the received data, determining a weight for each predicted location based on a time stamp associated with the predicted location that represents an age of the predicted location, wherein the weight represents a probability that the predicted location corresponds to a true location of the corresponding network address, and providing, in response to a request to identify a geographic location for a particular network address, one or more of the predicted locations that correspond to the particular network address based on the respective weights of the predicted locations.

In a method for commissioning an elevator signalization device to a communication network of an elevator system, system configuration data is received and a network address of the elevator signalization device is inquired from the switching device. A location of the elevator signalization device as defined in the system configuration file is associated with the network address of the elevator signalization device, and the elevator signalization device is commissioned by transmitting a configuration data of the elevator signalization device to the network address of the elevator signalization device received through an association. A control device and a computer program product are disclosed.

Methods and systems for managing real estate titles and permissions include using a key to identify titles and/or permissions. The key is preferably operable to control operations of electronic devices within geographic boundaries, with the geographic boundaries preferably being defined by a geofence and/or IP-based addressing. In certain embodiments, a system is linked to real property records to assign the key to the owner of record. Like other property rights, this virtual right-to-control electronic devices while located in a certain space may be sold outright, leased, rented, partitioned or otherwise conveyed to others.

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in an operating method of a first network node in a wireless communication system, provided is a method including transmitting a network function (NF) registration request message including profile information of a service supported by the first network node to a second network node, and receiving an NF registration response message including a registration result of the profile information from the second network node.

In one example, a Network Policy Function (NPF) obtains a first identifier for a User Equipment (UE) based on communications between the UE and a first access network of a system, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address used by the UE to communicate over the first access network. The NPF obtains a second identifier for the UE based on communications between the UE and a second access network of the system. The NPF determines that the UE used the IP address to communicate over the first access network of the system based on a correlation between the first identifier for the UE and the second identifier for the UE. The NPF provides the IP address to the UE, and the UE uses the IP address to communicate over the second access network.
