  • Patent number: 8199703
    Abstract: The invention relates to telecommunication systems and in particular to a method and system for efficient connection setup procedure for mobile terminated calls. A method of connection setup for mobile terminated calls is proposed in which a page message originating from the access network contains one access sequence along with access terminal identity or unicast access terminal identifier (UATI) of the paged access terminal. When more than one access terminal uses the same access sequence for sending their access probe at the same time a collision may occur. Access network selects access sequences from a reserved pool to direct the paged access terminal for performing access attempt to avoid collisions during access attempts. With this resource pooling, there is no need to send bind request and hence connection setup time reduces.

  • Patent number: 8199781
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device and method for demultiplexing in a digital broadcasting receiver for processing packet data configured by a packet header and a payload. A buffer buffers input packet data. Processors are parallel connected to the buffer. A packet header processor checks a packet header, identifies the presence of adaptation information, and generates a control signal according to the presence of the adaptation information. An adaptation information processor processes the adaptation information of buffered payload data under control of the packet header processor. A Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) header processor processes a PES header of the buffered payload data under the control of the packet header processor. A data processor generates an audio or video Elementary Stream (ES) from audio or video data of the buffered payload data under control of the PES header processor, and outputs the generated audio or video ES to an associated decoder.

  • Patent number: 8200970
    Abstract: A method for preventing a replay attack is provided. A prime number is mutually exchanged between a main node and children nodes. The main node generates a Prime Sequence Code Matrix (PSCM) corresponding to the prime number, notifies the children nodes of sequence orders corresponding to the children nodes. The main node selects an arbitrary value of a Prime Sequence Code-1 (PSC1) among a series of values corresponding to an arbitrary node in the PSCM. The arbitrary node computes a Prime Sequence Code-2 (PSC2) subsequent to receiving the PSC1 using a sequence order received from the main node and the prime number. The PSC2 is transmitted to the main node. The main node compares the received PSC2 with the PSCM. The method can be easily applied by supplementing a weakness for a replay attack on the basis of an IEEE 802.15-4-2006 standard and minimizing system load.
