  • Publication number: 20240086548
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system includes: a register value collector that collects register values of register numbers from a controller; a future state predictor that predicts a future state of the control system; a blacklist creator that creates a blacklist based on a prediction result; an anomaly determiner that determines whether the control system enters an anomalous state by checking the collected register values against the blacklist; and an outputter that outputs a determination result. The blacklist creator defines, as the blacklist: a predicted register number that is predicted, if a register value of the predicted register number is changed, to cause the control system to enter the anomalous state in the future; and a range of the register value within which the control system is predicted to enter the anomalous state, and dynamically creates the blacklist corresponding to a combination of the collected register values.

  • Patent number: 11929949
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes generation circuitry and transmission circuitry. The generation circuitry uses a reference size for a search space to generate downlink control information (DCI) in a first DCI format used for sidelink communications. The transmission circuitry transmits the DCI in the first DCI format mapped on the search space. When a second DCI format used for base station communications is mapped on the search space and the second DCI format is larger than the first DCI format, the reference size for the search space is based on the second DCI format. When a third DCI format used for sidelink communications is mapped on the search space and the third DCI format is larger than the first DCI format, and the second DCI format larger than the third DCI format is not mapped on the search space, the reference size is based on the third DCI format.
