CPC Class H04W

A system and method for facilitating supervisory control of localized meeting groups is provided. A method includes the steps of generating a master meeting group based on input received from a master organizer, generating a plurality of authentication tickets based on input received from the master organizer of the master meeting group identifying a local organizer for each authentication ticket of the plurality of authentication tickets, transmitting the plurality of authentication tickets to each of the local organizers, authenticating a plurality of local organizers based at least partially on an authentication ticket for each local organizer, and generating a plurality of meeting subgroups associated with the master meeting group based at least partially on the at least one meeting parameter. Each meeting subgroup is associated with at least one local organizer and is generated based at least partially on input received from the at least one local organizer.

A method, by an authentication unit of a wireless access network, allows anchoring of a data packet session of a user entity connected to the wireless access network to a packet core network of a mobile communications network. The user entity uses an access identifier for its identification in the wireless access network. The access identifier is not used in the mobile communications network to identify a subscriber. A request message is received in which access to the wireless access network is requested. The request message contains an MAC address of the requesting user entity. The MAC address is converted into a sequence of digits used as a mobile subscriber identifier with which the user entity is identified in the mobile communications network and a response message is transmitted accepting the access to the packet core network. The response message includes the sequence of digits used as mobile subscriber identifier.

Sharing video footage recorded by audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices, such as video doorbells and security cameras. When an A/V recording and communication device records video footage of suspicious activity, or even criminal activity, a user viewing the footage may alert his or her neighbors by sharing the video. In various embodiments, the user may share the video with anyone of the user's choosing, including neighbors, friends, and family.

A method for executing a connectionless wireless media content session includes receiving a MAC address by an electronic device. The MAC address may be received out-of-band. The address is monitored for received media content over a wireless channel from a transmitter. The broadcast wireless channel and media content codec information may also be received out of band. The received media content is received over a Wi-Fi MAC layer using RTP without an IP connection with the transmitter. The received media content may be rendered on the electronic device.

A file with a unique filename is transferred from a client computer to a server computer in chunks, which can be packaged into packets including metadata. The server computer can record indices of received chunks in a local metadata file associated with the file. Upon receiving the filename in a subsequent client request after a connection loss, the server computer can use the associated metadata file to determine whether portions of the file are missing. If so, the server computer can send indices corresponding to missing ranges instead of the client computer resending the whole file.
