Example embodiments relate to a method of, and device for facilitating, resilient peer-to-peer application message routing. The method comprises storing a network routing table comprising destination addresses of applications hosted on peer nodes of a network, and providing the peer nodes with a copy of the routing table via which routing table an application message from any one of the peer nodes is routed to a destination address designating a destination application hosted by a destination peer node. Further, the method comprises providing, when the destination application hosted by the destination peer node is inactivated, all peer nodes with a copy of an updated routing table taking into account the inactivation of said application, wherein a further application message addressed from any one of the peer nodes to the destination address associated with the inactivated application is routed via the updated routing table, to an alternative destination application having the same destination address as the inactivated application.

A system, method, and computer program are provided for distributed application execution using a cluster of mobile devices. In use, a wireless computing device included in a wireless mesh network of wireless computing devices identifies a wireless distributed application deployed to the wireless computing devices. Further, the wireless computing device manages execution of the wireless distributed application across the wireless computing devices.

An access point is configured to communicate with a wireless client device over a plurality of wireless communication channels. The wireless client device has an active operation state and a standby operation state. The access point detects a property of each of a first wireless communication channel and a second wireless communication channel, and applies a policy to the detected properties to select one of the first wireless communication channel and the second wireless communication channel. While the wireless client device is in the active operation state, the access point steers the client device to communicate with the access point over the selected channel.

Embodiment includes of a method and a system of network based operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed. One system includes a drone user machine, a drone control machine, and a drone control console. The drone control machine is interfaced with the drone user machine through a network, and the drone control machine is interfaced with a drone through the drone control console. The drone control machine operates to receive user commands from the drone user machine through the network, generate drone control commands which are provided to the drone control console for controlling the drone, wherein the drone control commands are generated based on the user commands, receive video from the drone control console that was generated by a camera located on the drone, and communicate the video to the drone user machine over the network, wherein the video is displayed on a display associated with the drone user machine.

An Internet of Things (IoT) network includes an IoT device with a communicator to send a communication including egress frame, protocol library builder to determine available protocols, frame analyzer to analyze an ingress frame, and frame builder to build the egress frame from the ingress frame. An IoT network includes an IoT device with network discoverer to identify available parallel communication channels between IoT device and target device, payload, payload fragmenter/packager to fragment the payload into sub-objects for transmission, and packet communicator to send sub-objects to the target device over parallel communication channels. An IoT network includes a plurality of IoT devices, which each include a communication channel to an upstream device, a network link to another one of the plurality of IoT devices, a hash calculator to identify a neighbor IoT device, and a communicator to send out a message to the neighbor IoT device.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to dynamically control devices based on distributed data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a comparator to compare a first measurement measured by a first peer device to a second measurement, the second measurement being measured locally by the apparatus; and an operation adjuster to, when the comparison satisfies a threshold, adjust a measurement protocol of the first peer device.

Described are systems, methods, and media for providing secure and scalable decentralized computation for one or more decentralized applications. Features include a blockchain, and a plurality of nodes that are separated into at least a first specialized node type and a second specialized node type. Nodes of the first specialized node type can be assigned non-deterministic tasks to perform, and each of the nodes of the second specialized node type can be assigned deterministic tasks to perform. Thus, the disclosed systems and methods can achieve improvements in speed and cost that scale with hardware capacity without compromising decentralization.

A high-performance distributed ledger and transaction computing network fabric over which large numbers of transactions (involving the transformation, conversion or transfer of information or value) are processed concurrently in a scalable, reliable, secure and efficient manner. In one embodiment, the computing network fabric or “core” is configured to support a distributed blockchain network that organizes data in a manner that allows communication, processing and storage of blocks of the chain to be performed concurrently, with little synchronization, at very high performance and low latency, even when the transactions themselves originate from distant sources. This data organization relies on segmenting a transaction space within autonomous but cooperating computing nodes that are configured as a processing mesh. Each computing node typically is functionally-equivalent to all other nodes in the core. The nodes operate on blocks independently from one another while still maintaining a consistent and logically-complete view of the blockchain as a whole.

Adjusting communication channels used by camera to communicate with a base station are described. In one aspect, characteristics of communication channels can be determined and the operation of the camera can be adjusted to use a communication channel based on a comparison of the characteristics of multiple communication channels.

Operation methods of a first communication node in a network, in particular, an Ethernet-based vehicle network, include: transmitting, by the first communication node to at least one communication node which is connected to the first communication node, a first frame requesting state information of a physical layer between the first communication node and the at least one communication node; receiving, by the first communication node from the at least one communication node, a second frame in response to the first frame; and identifying, by the first communication node, a state of the physical layer based on the second frame when the second frame is received.
