  • Patent number: 8064551
    Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for determining burst transmission signals. A receiver receives radio frequency data from a data source through a network. The receiver converts the radio frequency data to digital data. The receiver converts the digital data to baseband data. The receiver generates a correlation magnitude from the baseband data based on one or more correlation templates. The receiver determines one or more statistics based on the correlation magnitude and stored statistics. The receiver determines the presence of a burst transmission signal based on a comparison of a threshold value computed as a function of the statistics and the correlation magnitude. If the correlation magnitude exceeds the computed threshold, the receiver demodulates the burst transmission signal to packet data and transmits the packet data to a server.

  • Publication number: 20020181476
    Abstract: A network gateway device has a physical interface for connection to a medium. The device has an ingress processor system for ingress processing of all or part of packets received from the physical interface and for sending ingress processed packets for egress processing. The device has an egress processor system for receiving ingress processed packets and for egress processing of all or part of received packets for sending to physical interface. Interconnections are provided, including an interconnection between the ingress processor and the egress processor, including an interconnection between the ingress processor and the physical interface, and including an interconnection between the ingress processor and the physical interface. A packet queue is provided with packets awaiting transmission. The packet queue may be the exclusive buffer for packets between packets entering the device and packet transmission. The packets may exit the device at a rate of the line established at the physical interface.

  • Publication number: 20020184487
    Abstract: A network gateway device is provided with a network physical interface for receiving and transmitting data and for receiving packets for transmission and forwarding packets from received data. A packet processor is provided that provides for a key exchange and hosts a security association (SA) used for encryption and decryption for communication with a network peer. The packet processor includes an ingress processing security subsystem with a decryption processor for decrypting packets and an egress processing security subsystem for encrypting packets. One or both of the ingress processing security subsystem and the egress processing security subsystem receiving one or both of ingress and egress SAs. The packet processor may include a processor subsystem for handling key exchanges and for distributing SAs to the ingress processing security subsystem and the egress processing security subsystem.
