Abstract: A method and apparatus to reduce the overhead related to allocation of the terminal identifier in a random access procedure and an optimized method for detecting a collision are provided. By allocating a “short” terminal identifier in the Random Access Response that is identifiers and allocating the permanent terminal identifier at the end of the random access procedure, the size of data that must be transmitted in the Random Access Response is reduced and power is saved.
Abstract: Methods for effecting transmitter and receiver synchronization are disclosed. A method includes reading an authentication key value that is calculated by a receiver that is to receive protected content from a transmitter, determining if there has been a change in the authentication key value calculated by the receiver since it was last read and determining if a counter associated with the transmitter has a zero value. A re-authentication of the receiver is initiated if the counter associated with the transmitter has a non zero value and the authentication key value that is calculated from the receiver has changed.

Abstract: A communication speed control application sets the initial communication mode of the USB controller to a full speed mode through a USB driver. If a data transfer start request is received from a USB device using application and if the requested communication speed is a high speed communication mode, the communication speed mode of the USB controller is changed to a high speed mode through the USB driver. The USB application estimates the transfer rate required for the data transfer to be executed and, if the estimated transfer rate is higher than the full speed mode or the transfer rate resulting from subtraction of a predetermined margin from the full speed, the requested communication speed is set to the high speed or is set to full speed otherwise.
