20140075011 | PROVIDING A MOBILE ACCESS POINT - Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing an access point for connection to the Internet. The methods may be performed using one or more user devices (e.g. smartphones or other mobile communications devices) which may be part of a residential Local Area Network or “home” network. A user device may detect that a connection to the Internet via a first access point is unavailable. This connection may be via a residential gateway. In response to the detection that Internet connectivity via the first access point is unavailable, a user device (e.g. the same or different user device) may activate a second access point (e.g. a wireless or mobile access point) to the Internet for use by other user devices. Other user devices may then connect to the Internet using this second access point. The second access point may be de-activated if Internet connectivity via the first access point is re-established. | 03-13-2014 |

20140177472 | METHODS AND APPARTUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN DIFFERENT PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION GROUPS - Methods and apparatus for transmitting data between different peer-to-peer communication groups are disclosed. A wireless device determines if it is simultaneously connected to a plurality of peer-to-peer communication groups and instantiates a bridge interface at the wireless device (e.g., TRILL RBridge) for communications between each peer-to-peer communication group. The wireless device also determines if it is simultaneously connected to at least one peer-to-peer communication device and an access point. In such an instance, the wireless device determines if the access point also includes a bridge interface. If the access point does not include a bridge interface, the wireless device instantiates/runs the bridge interface at the wireless device for communications between the at least one peer-to-peer communication device and the access point. If the access point does include a bridge interface, the wireless device causes the bridge interface at the access point to be instantiated for communications between the at least one peer-to-peer communication device and the access point. | 06-26-2014 |
