Described herein is method for setting up a network of luminaires and their subsequent operation. A plurality of luminaires are located on a street (24, 29), and each luminaire comprises a control module (23, 28). The method for setting up the network comprises, for each control module, scanning the environment and providing environmental information to a central server, which, allocates the control modules and their associated luminaires into groups (A, B). A group controller (23′, 28′, 31, 32) is allocated for each group which has long-distance communication with the server and short-distance communication with control modules within its group. Each group controller and control modules within the group form a network which can operate autonomously or under the control of the server. Some of the control modules may include sensors (S1, S2) which provide signals indicative of changes in the environment allowing the network to adapt its operation in accordance with those changes.

Techniques are disclosed for predictive media streaming using microlocation. Microlocations of a mobile device can be determined by measuring one or more sensor values at one or more times, the one or more sensor values are determined from one or more signals emitted by a corresponding one or more signal sources. Streaming events can be stored at the mobile device. Each streaming event may include a destination device for playing media and a cluster location, the cluster location corresponding to sensor values that are spatially near each other. A selection of a media item is detected and one or more current sensor values are measured. A current cluster location can be identified using the one or more current sensor value. The current cluster location and the streaming events can identify a particular destination device for playing the selected media item.

The invention relates to a method for communication in a LoRaWAN mesh gateway network, wherein the LoRaWAN mesh gateway network has a plurality of end devices, a plurality of gateways and a network server. Here, one of the gateways performs server functions of the communication method that are intended for the network server (NS) according to the LoRaWAN protocol.

Provided is a method for discovering security information. A first device sends a broadcast or multicast message to M second devices in a network where the first device is located, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the broadcast or multicast message contains a request for performing security domain discovery; the first device receives representations of security domain resources fed back by N second devices, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M; the first device obtains L pieces of security domain information on the basis of the representations of the security domain resources fed back by the N second devices, and displays the L pieces of security domain information, L is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the security domain information comprises a security domain identification (ID) and a security domain name.

An access point that determines communication boundaries is described. During operation, the access point may receive one or more probe requests associated with the one or more electronic devices, where a given probe request may include an identifier of a given electronic device. Moreover, when the access point receives the given probe request, the access point may determine a signal strength associated with the given probe request and timestamps when the given probe request was received. Then, the access point may exchange probe-request information with one or more additional access points, where the probe-request information corresponds to received probe requests. Next, the access point may compare the probe-request information to determine the communication boundaries. For example, the communication boundaries may be determined by comparing the probe-request information for pairs of access points. Furthermore, the access point may identify neighboring access points based at least in part on the probe-request information.

A data transfer method, apparatus and device, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method executed by a third node includes sending a first request message to a fourth node, and receiving a first response message sent by the fourth node, the first response message being indicative of connection of a first node to the fourth node through a second node. By the method, the connection of the first node to the fourth node through the second node is achieved.

In a network having an edge server disposed therein, to appropriately construct a wireless communication route used in communication between the edge server and a user terminal, a processor of a network control device acquires group information related to grouped base stations in multiple base stations disposed in the network, acquires route information related to one or more wireless communication routes formed by multi-hop communication between the grouped base stations, and transmits the group information and the route information to an edge server connected to one of the base stations or to a user terminal.

In one embodiment, a device identifies a plurality of access points of a wireless network. The device also identifies a plurality of mobile nodes of a mobile system. The device establishes a first label-switched path in the wireless network that comprises a wireless link between a first mobile node in the plurality of mobile nodes and a first access point in the plurality of access points. The device establishes a second label-switched path in the wireless network that comprises a wireless link between a second mobile node of the mobile system and a second access point in the plurality of access points.

Techniques are provided for more efficiently determining frequency spectrum to allocate to General Authorized Access (GAA) citizens broadband radio service device(s) (CBSD(s)). Efficiency is enhanced by reducing a number of sets of frequency spectrum(s) by reducing a number of colors (assigned to nodes of connected set(s) of the network graph(s)) to which assignable frequency spectrum changes amongst the set(s).

A dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design microservice (ddSPDmS) can provide a scalable self-contained meta-data driven approach for a flexible implementation of a dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) service path design solution. The service plan design solution can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with a network management application. In order to manage a large volume of circuit designs, multiple microservices can accept application program interface (API) requests in a cloud environment. Permission can then be given to any application to use the API to make a call to the design and inventory. Additionally, metadata templates can be designed to support a node, a link, and/or a topology for the microservices.
