    摘要: A system and method for transmitting digital information through a medium such as atmospheric free-space includes a transmitter which generates a signal based on a basis set of mutually orthogonal, spectrally-shaped, sequences of substantially equal length and having predetermined autocorrelation values. The sequences may resemble noise in at least some of their characteristics. The orthogonality or cross-correlation characteristics, the autocorrelation characteristics and the resemblance to noise are due to features derived from sequences of pseudo-random numbers which themselves resemble noise in at least some of their characteristics. The waveform set based on the sequences is modulated digitally. The modulated set may be summed together along with a wideband reference signal of reduced amplitude and optionally an FM analog signal to form a composite signal which is broadcast typically through free space to at least one receiver. The receiver separates the analog FM signal from the digital signal and thereafter demodulates the digital data-carrying waveforms and outputs a stream of digital data. It has been determined to be resistant to multipath degradation.

    摘要: Using various embodiments, methods and systems for secure Bluetooth Low Energy communications, in an unconnected state, are described herein. In one embodiment, conventional BLE transmitting device data can be supplemented with authentication information, including a message authentication field which enables receivers to determine if the received beacon/transmitted BLE peripheral data is genuine. In another embodiment, the authentication data can also include a time varying value field in order to prevent unintentional acceptance of transmitting device data from unauthorized replicated BLE peripherals. In one embodiment, the transmitting device computes an authentication tag using at least a secret key known to the receiving device and transmits the authentication tag to the receiving device. The receiving device can compute an authentication value using the secret key and other transmitting device information and determine if the transmitting device data is genuine by comparing the computed authentication value and the received the authentication tag.

    摘要: A method and system are provided for the transmission and reception of an In-band On-channel (IBOC) FM-band digital audio broadcast (DAB) signal. The IBOC DAB signal is generated in the transmitter to substantially occupy the upper and lower sideband frequency regions in the RF emission mask for the conventional broadcast analog FM-band. Redundant source bit information is transmitted in both the upper and lower sidebands so that the loss of information in either one but not both sidebands due to large amounts of interference or distortion, caused by, for example, first-adjacent interference, does not deleteriously affect the IBOC DAB receiver performance. The system exhibits both frequency-diversity and time-diversity. The receiver determines which codeword bit estimate, corresponding to either upper or lower sideband signals, is less likely to be erroneous. The receiver system selects between decoded estimates for each pair of demodulated ECC codewords or combines both ECC codeword estimates prior to decoding in certain embodiments.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the invention, a system and method for error tolerant delivery of data is provided. A data file is received for transmission which includes metadata and data. The metadata includes mandatory portions and optional portions, which are grouped together, respectively. The mandatory portions of the metadata include file control data. The file is parsed into packets and transmitted as a data stream to a plurality of receiver devices. In some cases this data stream may be transmitted multiple times for redundancy. Once the data stream is received, the receiver device may look for transmission errors in the control data of the data stream. If such an error is present the data stream is discarded; otherwise, the receiver device converts the data stream back into the native file format and stored for later playback or queued processing. In some other embodiments, a data rights management (DRM) file is encrypted using a master key, which, in turn, is encrypted with a unique encryption key for each copy of the file. The unique encryption corresponds to a single target receiver. The system may bifurcate each data file into the common encrypted content and the uniquely encrypted portion. The commonly encrypted portion of the file may be transmitted to a plurality of receiver devices using a multicast transmission medium, and the relatively small uniquely encrypted portions may be transmitted in a unicast method to each receiver individually. The receiver device may then reconstitute the DRM data file.
