Patent number: 11962616Abstract: A method and associated circuits protect data stored in a secure data circuit of a telecommunication device equipped with a near-field communication (NFC) router, a microcontroller, and the secure data circuit. In the method, each message received with the NFC router is parsed to retrieve a communication pipe identifier and an instruction code. The communication pipe identifier and the instruction code are compared to corresponding information in a filter table. Instruction codes of particular messages that attempt to modify a communication pipe by reassigning one end of the communication pipe from the port of the NFC router to a different circuit are acted upon. These messages are blocked from reaching the secure data circuit when the instruction code is not authorized in the filter table, and these messages are permitted when the instruction code is authorized in the filter table.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignees: PROTON WORLD INTERNATIONAL N.V., STMICROELECTRONICS (ROUSSET) SASInventors: Olivier Van Nieuwenhuyze, Thierry Huque, Alexandre Charles

Patent number: 11936468Abstract: A spatial position-dependent I/Q domain modulation method, dual domain modulation method and multiple access communication method are provided. The methods eliminate the dependence of physical layer secure communication on channel state information, and realize the function that a receiver at an expected position can communicate normally, while an eavesdropper at other positions cannot receive a signal or can only receive a wrong signal. The security capability of a wireless communication system is improved from the spatial dimension. The multiple access communication method can realize the distinguishing of multiple users according to precise spatial position points. Even if a plurality of users are located in the same sector in an angular domain, as long as the spatial positions of these users are different, the method can be used to perform multiple access communication, thereby further improving the spatial multiplexing rate of the system and increasing the system capacity.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: University of Electronic Science and Technology of ChinaInventors: Guangrong Yue, Daizhong Yu, Lin Yang

Patent number: 11901926Abstract: The gain of an amplifier in a receiver operating in a cellular communication system is controlled by determining one or more gain variability metrics, which are then used to produce first and second threshold values. A frequency difference between a current carrier frequency and a target carrier frequency is ascertained and then compared to the threshold values. Target gain setting production is based on comparison results: If the frequency difference is larger than the first threshold, a first automatic gain control algorithm is performed; if the frequency difference is smaller than the first threshold and larger than the second threshold, a second automatic gain control algorithm is performed, wherein the second automatic gain control algorithm uses a current gain setting as a starting point; and if the frequency difference is smaller than both the first and second thresholds, the current gain setting is used as the target gain setting.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (publ)Inventors: Peter Alriksson, Joakim Axmon
