20080313462 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DERIVING KEYS FOR SECURING PEER LINKS - Apparatus and methods to establish a secure peer-to-peer link in which the construction of a link authentication and key encryption keys are separated from the session encryption key are described herein. In an embodiment, a secure peer-to-peer link is established in a wireless mesh network. | 12-18-2008 |
20080313698 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR NEGOTIATING A CAPABILITY IN ESTABLISHING A PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION LINK - Apparatus and method to negotiate parameters of a policy in establishment of a peer-to-peer link are described herein. In an embodiment, a security policy is negotiated in establishment of a peer-to-peer link in a wireless mesh network. | 12-18-2008 |
20090169011 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NEGOTIATING PAIRWISE MASTER KEY FOR SECURING PEER LINKS IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS - A system and method for negotiating a pairwise master key (“PMK”) in wireless mesh networks. The system includes a plurality of mesh points that are configured to perform an abbreviated handshake protocol in negotiating a PMK and establishing a secure connection. The method for establishing a negotiated PMK is based on selecting a PMK before transmitting any data, and arranging available PMKs in a predetermined list so that a PMK can be negotiated in a limited number of exchanges. | 07-02-2009 |
20120134361 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF UTILIZING A FRAMEWORK FOR INFORMATION ROUTING IN LARGE-SCALE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS USING SWARM INTELLIGENCE - In some embodiments, the invention involves information routing in networks, and, more specifically, to defining a framework using swarm intelligence and utilization of the defined framework for routing information in the network, especially for cloud computing applications. In an embodiment, information about available information/services is pushed to network nodes using information packets (ants). Nodes requiring services send query packets (ants) and a node may send a response to a query ant when information is available. Ants may be forwarded throughout the network based on popularity of nodes, freshness of information/requests, routing table information, and requests or interest by consumer nodes captured in information routing table. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 05-31-2012 |
20130005255 | Secure Context-Based Computing - An embodiment of the invention includes an article with instructions that enable a first unit to: (a) sense the first unit's local surroundings to determine sensed data; (b) receive and decrypt encrypted context data directly from a second unit (the second unit located nearby the first unit and the context data corresponding to the first unit's local surroundings); and (c) based on the sensed data and the decrypted context data, communicate directly with the second unit. Other embodiments are described herein. | 01-03-2013 |

20140379835 | PREDICTIVE PRE-CACHING OF CONTENT - Certain embodiments herein are directed to predictive pre-caching of content for user devices. A service provider system may receive predictive pre-cache information associated with a user from a user device. The service provider system may obtain content based at least in part on the predictive pre-cache information associated with the user. The service provider system may determine a non-congested time to transmit the obtained content. The service provider system may transmit the content to the user device at the non-congested time. | 12-25-2014 |
20150087323 | CLOUD BASED SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT - Certain embodiments herein are directed to managing wireless spectrum, which may include recommending or transmitting spectrum usage changes to one or more wireless devices. A spectrum management system comprising one or more computers may receive spectrum usage information associated with one or more wireless devices. The spectrum management system may generate a spectrum usage map based on the received information. Based on the spectrum usage map, a spectrum usage change is determined and transmitted to one or more wireless devices. The wireless devices may change their operation in accordance with the spectrum usage change. | 03-26-2015 |
