  • Patent number: 11556273
    Abstract: A method of operating a storage means, wherein for writing and storing a storage item to the storage means the storage item to be written and stored—in particular by using the concept and theory of identification—is provided, a encoding process by means of randomization is applied to the storage item to generate and to provide a randomized encoded storage item, and the randomized encoded storage item is written and stored to the storage means. At least a first randomization process is underlying the encoding process and is a randomization process dedicated and assigned to the underlying storage means. The present disclosure further refers to a unit for operating a storage means, to a storage means and to a system for processing data. By having two randomization processes underlying the encoding process, a distinction can be made between a secrecy insuring and secrecy non-ensuring randomization processes.

  • Patent number: 11424861
    Abstract: A method and apparatus decode packetized data in the presence of packet erasures using a finite sliding window technique. A decoder receives packets containing uncoded and coded symbols. When a packet with a coded symbol is received, the decoder determines whether a packet sequence number is within a sliding window of w consecutive sequence numbers that are no greater than a decoder sequence number, where the number w is fixed prior to encoding. When this is the case, the decoder decodes the coded symbol into one or more of the w input symbols using the coefficient vector. Decoding may use a forward error correcting (FEC) window within the finite sliding window. Decoding also may use a technique of Gaussian elimination to produce a “shifted” row echelon coefficient matrix.

  • Patent number: 11368196
    Abstract: Communication systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention utilize modulation on zeros. Carrier frequency offsets (CFO) can result in an unknown rotation of all zeros of a received signal's z-transform. Therefore, a binary MOCZ scheme (BMOCZ) can be utilized in which the modulated binary data is encoded using a cycling register code (e.g. CPC or ACPC), enabling receivers to determine cyclic shifts in the BMOCZ symbol resulting from a CFO. Receivers in accordance with several embodiments of the invention include decoders capable of decoding information bits from received discrete-time baseband signals by: estimating a timing offset for the received signal; determining a plurality of zeros of a z-transform of the received symbol; identifying zeros from the plurality of zeros that encode received bits by correcting fractional rotations resulting from the CFO; and decoding information bits based upon the received bits using a cycling register code.
