Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for managing communications of portable devices within a vehicle through an in-vehicle router system. The in-vehicle router system includes a plurality of out-of-band interfaces used to determine a user class associated with a portable device used to manage a connection with a wireless access point. The out-of-band interface receives a query from a portable device via a first communication link. The query includes identifying information of the portable device and a request for network credentials to a second communication link with a wireless access point. A user type is determined based on a location of the out-of-band interface and a unique identifier. Network credentials associated with the determined user type are retrieved. The network credentials are provided to the portable device via the first communication link. Access to the second communication link is restricted based on the user type and/or vehicle status information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for managing access by a portable device to an in-vehicle router system (IVRS). The IVRS determines network access privilege of the portable device located within the vehicle. The portable device determines whether it is connected to a wireless access point (AP) of the IVRS or a rogue network. The portable device transmits a first token to the wireless AP, via a first communication link implementing a first protocol stack, to prompt the wireless AP to reply with a second token. The portable device receives the second token via a second communication link implementing a second protocol stack different than the first protocol stack between the portable device and the IVRS. The portable device determines whether the second token matches the first token. If the second token is determined to match the first token, the portable device authenticates the wireless AP.

Abstract: A differential cascode structure is configured to propagate a data state to a static latch at each active edge of a clock. A clock generator enables the communication of the data state and its inverse to the latch for a predetermined time interval. In a first embodiment, each cascode structure includes three gates in series, the gates being controlled by the clock signal, a delayed inversion of the clock signal, and the data state or its inverse. In an alternative embodiment, each cascode structure includes two gates in series, the gates being controlled by the clock signal and the delayed inversion of the clock signal. In this alternative embodiment, each of these cascode structures is driven directly by the data signal or its inverse. The static latch obviates the need to precharge nodes within the device, thereby minimizing the power consumed by the device. The latch preferably comprises cross-coupled inverters, which, being driven by the differential cascode structure, enhance the switching speed.
