Abstract: A method for performing electromagnetic induction communication enables transmitting modulation data between communication devices. The method includes coupling a first antenna of a first communication device and a second antenna of a second communication device, generating a magnetic field by supplying a first current through the first antenna, and modulating the magnetic field according to the modulation data. The first current is regulated so as to be substantially constant, by introducing a regulating current, which is function of the magnetic field. The first communication device determines the modulation data from the regulating current.

Abstract: An exemplary method of maintaining secure time in a computing device is disclosed in which one or more processors implements a Rich Execution Environment (REE), and a separate Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The TEE maintains a real-time clock (RTC) that provides a RTC time to the REE. A RTC offset is stored in non-volatile memory, with the RTC offset indicating a difference between the RTC time and a protected reference (PR) time. Responsive to a request from the REE to read the RTC time, a current RTC time is returned to the REE. Responsive to a request from the REE to adjust the RTC time, the RTC time and the corresponding RTC offset are adjusted by a same amount, such that the PR time is not altered by the RTC adjustment. An exemplary computing device operable to implement the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A downlink signaling counter management method for a communication device is adapted to be simultaneously associated with at least two subscriber identities and to simultaneously provide radio receiving capabilities to less than all of the subscriber identities. For each decoding of a paging block for a subscriber identity, it is determined whether the paging block decoding was correct and whether a previous paging block decoding condition is fulfilled. The downlink signaling counter is updated with different values depending on this determination results, and on whether the paging block decoding was based on a maximum number of paging bursts.
