CPC Code(s): G01S19/48
Abstract: described herein are devices, systems, methods, and processes for managing the computational complexity in geolocating a large number of network devices (e.g., access points (aps)) in indoor environments. a number of network devices may be partitioned into smaller groups or batches based on neighbor knowledge about the network devices. each batch of network devices can include just devices located on a same floor, or may include devices located across different floors. every batch may include at least one anchor network device. the geolocation of the network devices can be determined, batch-by-batch, based on fusing global navigation satellite system (gnss) pseudorange measurements and inter-network device ranging measurements. the geolocation accuracy for each partition can be evaluated utilizing such metrics as the average residual error. if the error for a batch is greater than a threshold, remedial measures may be taken to reduce the error and improve the geolocation accuracy.

IPC Code(s): H04L47/24, H04L47/32
CPC Code(s): H04L47/24
Abstract: devices, systems, methods, and processes for filtering of received broadcast packets at access points (aps) connected to a controller. typically, the aps forward all the received broadcast packets to the controller for processing. many of these broadcast packets may not be subscribed by any application and thus are dropped by the controller. thus, both the aps and the controller resources are being wasted in processing the broadcast packets that may eventually be dropped. the controller, therefore, generates a filtering ruleset to drop one or more broadcast packets from the received broadcast packets based on one or more subscriptions from applications. the controller may install the filtering ruleset on the aps, so that only the broadcast packets subscribed by the applications are received by the controller. further, the controller may run periodic updates on the filtering ruleset to accommodate any new subscriptions, new allow rule or drop rule from the applications.

CPC Code(s): H04W64/006
Abstract: devices, systems, methods, and processes for detecting anomalous movements within network devices are described herein. certain movements within networks devices are predictable and negligible. however, other movements may indicate a larger problem with the network, or network devices, especially when the network devices (e.g., access points) are within a stationary deployment. for example, a sudden movement of a network device may indicate that it has fallen, been moved, or is under threat of a physical attack. many network devices are being deployed with various environmental sensors. these sensors can be utilized to detect movement of the network device. this can be done by evaluating the received signal strength indicator levels as well as the output of the environmental sensor. if an anomalous movement is detected, preventative actions can be taken such as rebooting or limiting access. this can be done on the network device or by a centralized management system.
