  • Publication number: 20190149653
    Abstract: Present invention provides a method, system and application for providing authentication of a mobile device user, based on the measurement of electromagnetic fields modified by a pre-established movement of a specific magnetic token associated to the user. This univocal process will be able to obtain new authentication factors, including something that the user owns (i.e., the token), something that the user knows (i.e., the interaction between the token and the device), and somewhere that the user is (i.e., where the interaction takes place).

  • Patent number: 10003435
    Abstract: A system, method and device for error detection/estimation in OFDM communications systems is proposed. The disclosed mechanism allows an efficient error prediction in a received packet, without having to perform full FEC decoding of the packet that could impair the overall latency of the system due to the time spent in a complete FEC decoding of the packet. In order to do that, it generates a decision variable with the aim to check whether a received packet has errors or not, after performing only partial FEC decoding of the packet, without either resorting to the use of error-detection codes.
