    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.

    摘要: A method and system are provided for the reception of a biorthogonally-modulated RF signal in a simplex free-space system. The method is found to substantially diminish the coupling between the error probabilities of those bits associated with signal selection and those bits associated with signal polarity in prior art biorthogonal receivers. By decoupling the error probabilities, the polarity information error rate is reduced and consequently the overall error rate of the receiver system is improved. The receiver system preserves soft-decision reliability information for the signal selection bits in a manner so that the information is insensitive to uncompensated amplitude fluctuations in the received signal. A symbol deinterleaver in the receiver is located between the correlators and the bit estimators. The method and system are applicable to all known biorthogonal signal sets but requires a specific interleaving structure in the corresponding transmitter system.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the invention, a system and method for receiving and correcting content is provided. A receiver receives a plurality of transmission with embedded content key identifiers. Data packets for which the receiver has a corresponding authentication key are authenticated. Non-successful authentications, or data packets without a corresponding authentication key, are ignored by the receiver. The receiver checks if the content is encrypted. If so, the content may also be decrypted using content decryption keys stored within the receiver. Authentication keys and decryption keys may be updated via secure transmissions. The receiver status is monitored for incomplete and/or corrupted content receipt. The failed content may be retransmitted to the receiver over radio transmitters. Failed content may also be supplied to the receiver via the backchannel. Retransmission of the content may be performed according to a content delivery schedule.
