20140334336 | Multi-Tenant Virtual Access Point- Network Resources Virtualization - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. A venue owner or manager can deploy a plurality of wireless access point hardware units at a physical venue location. Various sets of virtual wireless access points that correspond to the plurality of wireless access point hardware units can be leased to various WLAN network operators, according to certain embodiments. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334405 | Cloud Site Controller Manager - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, a cloud site controller manager can automatically respond to a discovery request from a wireless access point by sending, to the wireless access point, an IP address and port information of a tenant controller associated with the tenant account information with which the wireless access point is in turn associated. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334406 | Cloud Controller Access Point Discovery Protocol - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, a cloud controller CAPWAP discovery protocol that uses the standard HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol is used to replace the traditional CAPWAP for use in the multi-tenant cloud structure. Further, according to certain embodiments, the access point has the intelligence to switch over from a CAPWAP over a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol to a CAPWAP over HTTP protocol when the access point detects a firewall between the access point and the corresponding cloud controller. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334467 | Multi-Tenant Virtual Access Point - Access Point Resources Virtualization - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. Portions of memory resources associated with a respective wireless access point can be subleased to various business entities, according to certain embodiments. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334468 | Cloud-based Site-to-Site Virtual Private Network - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, access points at virtual private networks can act as soft VPN gateways. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334469 | Cloud-based WLAN Layer 3 Mobility Control - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, in order to support L3 mobility in WLANS that use cloud-based controllers, methods including predicting client roaming range, and employing a roaming anchor AP are used. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334470 | Fast Path to Capture Network Data to Disk Storage - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, after the access point network processor captures the packets and stores the data on the direct memory access (DMA), the access point's OS is designed to call an access point kernel-space driver to directly transfer the data from DMA to the access point's hard disk and thus bypasses the access point's OS File System. | 11-13-2014 |
20140334471 | Cloud Controller Mobility Domain - A method and system for virtualization of access points are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, separate wireless mobility domains can be used to manage access points. | 11-13-2014 |
