Patent number: 10897478Abstract: A system for identifying a wireless security threat on a vehicle. The system includes a broadband controller including a data processor and memory in which the broadband controller provides a network within the vehicle. The system includes a vehicle WAP in communication with the broadband controller in which the WAP broadcasts an SSID for use by a PED to establish a wireless communication link and transmit and receive data wirelessly over the network via the WAP. An SSID scanner periodically scans for SSIDs broadcast in the vehicle in which SSIDs detected during scans are communicated to the broadband controller. For a detected SSID corresponding to the vehicles WAP SSID, logic executed by the data processor compares the BSSID of the vehicle WAP with the BSSID from the detected SSID and if the BSSIDs do not match, the logic identifies a security threat.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC AVIONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Philip Watson, Changhwa Lin, Michael Dierickx

Patent number: 7835265Abstract: A high availability backplane architecture. The backplane system includes redundant node boards operatively communicating with redundant switch fabric boards. Uplink ports of the node boards are logically grouped into trunk ports at one end of the communication link with the switch fabric boards. The node boards and the switch fabric boards routinely perform link integrity checks when operating in a normal mode such that each can independently initiate failover to working ports when a link failure is detected. Link failure is detected either by sending a link heartbeat message after the link has had no traffic for a predetermined interval, or after receiving a predetermined consecutive number of invalid packets. Once the link failure is resolved, operation resumes in normal mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Conexant Systems, Inc.Inventors: Linghsiao Wang, Rong-Feng Chang, Eric (Changhwa) Lin, James Ching-Shau Yik

Publication number: 20040085894Abstract: A method for actively detecting link failures on a high availability backplane architecture. The backplane system includes redundant node boards operatively communicating with redundant switch fabric boards. Uplink ports of the node boards are logically grouped into trunk ports at one end of the communication link with the switch fabric boards. A probe packet is sent, and a probing timer is set whenever either a specified number of bad packets are received, or an idle timer expires. If a response to the probe packet is received before the probe timer expires then the link is deemed valid, otherwise the link is presumed to have failed. Preferably, either the node boards or the switch fabric boards are configured to properly handle a probe pack, which preferably has identical source and destination addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2002Publication date: May 6, 2004Inventors: Linghsiao Wang, Rong-Feng Chang, Eric (A.K.A.
