Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080205309VIRTUAL ADAPTATION LAYER FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A system for improving communication efficiency in a communication medium. In at least one embodiment of the present invention, communication efficiency in a wireless communication medium may be improved by routing communication packets to destination layers in a wireless protocol stack using a minimal amount of information. Communication packets may be routed by maintaining a set of virtual packet identification indicators for identifying and routing information to an appropriate communication layer, receiving information including a virtual packet identification; and resolving an information type and a communication protocol layer to which the received data should be routed by mapping the virtual packet identification included in the received information with the virtual packet identification indicators.08-28-2008
20090164480METHODS, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ALTERING DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY - A method, apparatus, system and computer program product are provided which permit the functionality of a device to be adapted or otherwise altered without requiring the device to be completely reprogrammed. In this regard, attributes which at least partially define the functionality of the device may be changed or supplemented in order to correspondingly alter the device functionality which, in turn, at least partially depends upon the attributes stored by the device.06-25-2009
20100303236METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROPAGATING ENCRYPTION KEYS BETWEEN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A system for propagating encryption key information between wireless communication devices without the requirement of pairing each and every device. A wireless communication device may be paired with at least one device in a group of devices. When a secure link is established between these devices, a determination may be made as to whether encryption key information should be passed from one device to another. The additional encryption key information may allow a wireless communication device to create a secure link with other devices without having to first establish a trusted relationship (e.g., go through a pairing process) with the other devices.12-02-2010
20120042098Method and Apparatus for Implementing Address Privacy in Communications Networks - Various methods for implementing address privacy in communications networks are provided. One method may include receiving a lower layer address block. The lower layer address block may include a random component and a lower layer solution component. The random component may include a random value and the lower layer solution component may be based at least in part on the random value and a shared key. The method may also include verifying the lower layer address block via the random value and the shared key. The method may further include receiving a higher layer address block. The higher layer address block may include a higher layer solution component. The higher layer solution component may be based at least in part on the random value and a shared key. The method may further include verifying the higher layer address block via the random value and the shared key. Similar apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.02-16-2012
