A method for automatic configuration of a communication network includes: generating a request message, the request message including a communication address associated; transmitting the generated request message as a broadcast message to a plurality of computing devices using a predefined user datagram protocol (UDP) port, the message being broadcast with a predetermined time to live; receiving agreement messages from computing devices transmitted by the respective computing device using the predefined UDP port, each agreement message including a communication address associated with the respective computing device and a specified transmission control protocol (TCP) port; identifying at least one of the one or more agreement messages for establishment of communication; and establishing a communication connection to the computing device associated with each identified agreement message using the specific TCP port.

Systems methods and devices are provided for a presentation including a communications console with component aggregation. In one potential implementation, a computing device with an application framework receives a communication manager object via a network connectivity device and executes the communication manager object within the application framework. The computing device may then receive and execute communications components and a presentation components within the application framework using the communication manager object. The communication manager object may then manages interface and display of the presentation information via the application framework, as modified by communication components.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods related to systems and methods of target wake time for peer-to-peer communication. In one aspect, a first wireless communication devices configures a subfield indicating to extend a restricted target wake time (rTWT) for peer-to-peer communication. The first wireless communication device sends a message including the subfield to a second wireless communication device.

A cluster of nodes, comprising: a plurality of nodes, each having a security policy, and being associated task processing resources; a registration agent configured to register a node and issue a node certificate to the respective node; a communication network configured to communicate certificates to authorize access to computing resources, in accordance with the respective security policy; and a processor configured to automatically dynamically partition the plurality of nodes into subnets, based on at least a distance function of at least one node characteristic, each subnet designating a communication node for communicating control information and task data with other communication nodes, and to communicate control information between each node within the subnet and the communication node of the other subnets.

Techniques are described for providing location-based information and functionality to people and computing devices in various ways. In at least some situations, the techniques include enabling multiple people in a common geographic area to interact in various ways, such as via devices capable of communications (e.g., cellular telephones, computing devices with wired and/or wireless communications capabilities, etc.), while in other situations at least some users who are remote from a particular geographic area may be allowed to intercommunicate with one or more other users or other entities in or related to that geographic area. In addition, the techniques include enabling the creation and maintenance of location-based virtual groups of users (also referred to as “clouds”), such as for users of mobile and/or fixed-location devices. Such clouds may enable various types of interactions between group members, and may be temporary and/or mobile.

The present disclosure provides methods for detecting faults in a distributed computing network system. The method includes receiving, from a management services, authority information identifying peer computing devices of a distributed computing network system. For each respective peer computing device, a first message comprising a first instance of a dataset and a second message comprising a second instance of the dataset are received. Where the first peer computing device and the second peer computing device have authority over the data set, it is determined whether the first instance of the dataset matches the second instance of the dataset. Where the first instance of the dataset does not match the second instance of the dataset, a fault message is sent to the management services indicating that a fault has been detected at the first peer computing device.

Systems and methods are described herein for facilitating access to a telecommunications network by a third-party device via one or more available subscriber devices. The network-based systems enable devices associated with subscribers of the telecommunications networks to establish connections with other mobile devices (e.g., third-party mobile devices of users that are not subscribers) over peer to peer (P2P) communication protocols. For example, a subscriber device can, over a P2P connection, act as a Hotspot, Wi-Fi tether, or bridge for a third-party or other device requesting access to the networks.

A communication device includes a transmission unit and a processing unit. The transmission unit transmits a packet group including multiple packets. In a case in which the communication device itself is not trusted by a destination communication device to which to transmit the packet group, the processing unit performs a process of instructing each of multiple nodes of a management unit that registers and manages management information distributed among the multiple nodes to register header information as the management information, the header information being partial information of a header included in each packet of the packet group transmitted by the transmission unit.
