The invention is a method, an apparatus and a computer program for the automatic processing of data identifiers (), wherein data () associated with data identifiers () is transmitted to a cloud platform () and to an analysis unit () there having at least one functional unit (-), wherein each functional unit (-) performs an analysis of the data () and/or associated data identifier () and outputs a confidence value as an analysis result, wherein the or each confidence value is mapped to an overall confidence value (), wherein the overall confidence value encodes a correlation between two data identifiers (), wherein data identifiers () determined as correlated are combined under a higher-order variable name (), and wherein the higher-order variable name () can be used for a database query, which supplies data relating to all data identifiers () combined under the variable name (), wherein data identifiers () having an overall confidence value () above a predefined or predefinable threshold value are correlated.

A method and a network node device run Push-Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous network, IEEE 1905.1, using a push button configuration mechanism that ensures that only one single new network node device is registered for a single push button key press event and thus overlapping Push-Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous network are prevented. After finishing the push button configuration mode, the number of new nodes is checked. If more than one node has been added, a configuration roll-back is performed. Preferably, the push button configuration roll-back is performed as soon as the authentication of more than one distinct node has been detected. The roll-back includes the deletion or deactivation of credentials established by the push-button configuration.

Method and device for running push-button configuration sessions

A method and network node device are provided for controlling an execution of technology specific Push-Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network, as well as a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network for detecting a session overlap within the network, whereby the session is related to a configuration session (bootstrapping session, setup session) that establishes a security configuration for encrypted communication over a wireless link. The method and device utilizes an enhanced mechanism for controlling the execution of technology specific Push Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network and a plurality of network node devices interconnected to each other via at least one interface and/or over multiple hops and authenticated or unauthenticated for the network by using a piece of information, e.g. a 'Configuration Setup Session Identifier (CSSID)', for identifying a technology specific Push Button Configuration setup session.

A method supports parking of placement vehicles in a parking system of a parking lot having at least one parking system apparatus. A parking region of the parking lot is scanned by a parking region sensor of the parking system and, based on the sensor information, a free and/or an occupied parking space and/or a free and/or an occupied parking area is identified by the parking system apparatus. A parking system for a parking lot for supported parking of placement vehicles is provided. The parking system has at least one parking system apparatus with a parking region sensor for identifying a parking space and/or a parking area of a parking region of the parking lot.

A heterogeneous home network (with possibly multiple hops between devices) uses a push button configuration mechanism that ensures only one single new network node device is registered for a single push button key press event and overlapping Push-Button Configuration sessions within the heterogeneous network are prevented by an enhanced mechanism for running Push Button Configuration sessions based on a Push-Button Configuration handshake procedure triggered and initiated by a virtual or physical Push-Button-Event on a new device, which wants to join the heterogeneous network for a user friendly security bootstrapping, in which multiple network node devices in the heterogeneous network belonging already to the heterogeneous network are involved in registering the new device. The Push-Button Configuration handshake procedure is initiated to get a permission information to join the network or to proceed with the Push-Button Configuration or to get a rejection information not to join the network.

Method and devices for running push-button configuration sessions

Overlapping Push Button Configuration (PBC) sessions are prevented without any deadlocks of technology specific PBC methods by controlling the run of technology specific PBC sessions within a heterogeneous network of network node devices interconnected via at least one I interface and/or over multiple hops and authenticated for the network, by enabling a two-level PBC within the heterogeneous network based on a network node device of the network node devices being authenticated for the network as registrar, which is especially selectable or determined. Level-of the two-level PBC performed at the abstraction layer of the heterogeneous network accomplishes the detection of the wish for PBC, prevention of overlapping PBC sessions independent of underlying communication technology, coordination of technology-specific PBC runs, whereas in level-of the two-level PBC performed within a technology-specific communication technology a technology-specific PBC is used, which is triggered by the level-

A method for data transmission from a first node to a second node in a communication network includes: analyzing data arriving in a buffer of the first node to generate an arrival history curve describing the amounts of data arriving in the buffer over a past time period; processing the arrival history curve to generate a plurality of signals corresponding to filtered components of the wavelet transform; processing each signal in a separate neural network trained with training patterns based on previously received and buffered data to generate forecast signals for future data arrivals; recombining the forecast signals to generate an arrival forecast curve describing the amounts of data arriving in the buffer in a future period; the first node generating bandwidth reservation requests based on the arrival forecast curve and transmitting the bandwidth requests to the second node; the second node allocating bandwidth based on the bandwidth requests; and transmitting data from the first node to the second node within the allocated bandwidth.

A method for transmission of data requires a transmitting node sending a request message identifying at least one time slot that is available for the transmitting node to transmit a data transmission to a plurality of receiving nodes, a first receiving node transmitting a first time slot grant message in response to the request message, a second receiving node transmitting a second time slot grant message in response to the request message, the transmitting node receiving the first and second time slot grant messages, the transmitting node evaluating the first and second time slot grant messages to determine at least one available time slot for transmitting, the transmitting node transmitting at least one confirmation message to the first and second receiving nodes, and the transmitting node transmitting the data transmission in the at least one available time slot identified in the at least one confirmation message.

Method, network nodes and system for broadcast transmission of data

In a method for secure data transmission in a wireless mesh network, a sending node sends at least one packet to at least one forwarding node which receives the packet from the sending node and forwards the packet to one or more receiving nodes. A destination node receives the packet. A challenge is transmitted from the sending node to the forwarding node causing the forwarding node to reply both to the sending and the receiving node with a response which has transformed information about one or more of the packet/packets. The response is processed to find out whether the forwarding node is misbehaving or not by verifying whether the transformed information is equal to an information which can be or has been derived from the requested packet/packets, wherein the processing is carried out both by the sending node and the receiving node.
