  • Patent number: 11018854
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-readable memory medium coupled to a processor is disclosed. The memory medium is configured to store instructions which cause the processor to retrieve a seed value, receive a digital bit stream, generate a stream of random bits, using the seed value as a seed to a pseudo random number generator (PRNG), wherein the stream of random bits contains at least as many bits as the digital bit stream, shuffle bits of the stream of random bits to create a random bit buffer, generate an obfuscated digital bit stream by applying a first exclusive OR (XOR) to the digital bit stream and the random bit buffer, wherein the obfuscated digital bit stream has the same number of bits as the digital bit stream, and provide the obfuscated digital bit stream to the communications interface.

  • Patent number: 9537781
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for an extended range copper transceiver are provided. Reducing the communication rate provided by multi-rate physical (PHY) layer operations in an Ethernet transceiver may extend the range of the Ethernet transceiver over twisted-pair copper cabling from a standard connection length. The Ethernet transceiver may support up to 1 Gbps or up to 10 Gbps transmission rate over copper cabling. The multi-rate PHY layer architecture in the Ethernet transceiver may support signal-processing operations, such as echo cancellation and/or equalization, which may be applied to the reduced communication rate to enable range extension. The reduced communication rate may be achieved by reducing the symbol rate provided by the multi-rate PHY layer operations. Reducing the communication rate may also enable utilizing greater insertion loss cabling for a standard connection length.

  • Patent number: 9461809
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for extended range Ethernet link discovery signaling are provided. A local PHY may detect of one or more active twisted-pair wires in a remote PHY in extended range applications. The local PHY may determine whether to operate as a master or slave based on detected pairs. When operating as a master device, the local PHY may correct twisted-pair wire swap information received from the remote PHY before communicating an encoded link length value to the remote PHY. When operating as a slave device, the local PHY may transmit encoded twisted-pair wire swap information to the remote PHY before recovering a link length value communicated from the remote PHY. The local PHY may communicate supported operating modes based on the link length value to the remote PHY. Moreover, the local PHY may enable establishing a common full duplex operating mode with the remote PHY.
