Manufacturer usage description (mud) wireless emission power profile extension

A computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
• retrieve a manufacturer usage description (MUD) associated with a device, wherein the MUD comprises a power profile associated with the device, an expected power consumption parameter can determined from the power profile;
• monitor an actual power consumption parameter of the device;
• compare the expected power consumption parameter to the actual power consumption parameter;
• determine a deviation between the actual power consumption parameter and the expected power consumption parameter indicated in the power profile;
• and
• output a notification when the deviation is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• retrieve a manufacturer usage description (MUD) associated with a device, wherein the MUD comprises a power profile associated with the device, an expected power consumption parameter can determined from the power profile;
• monitor an actual power consumption parameter of the device;
• compare the expected power consumption parameter to the actual power consumption parameter;
• determine a deviation between the actual power consumption parameter and the expected power consumption parameter indicated in the power profile;
• and
• output a notification when the deviation is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
