  • Patent number: 8817979
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accelerating AES encryption and decryption operations are provided. Aspects of the method may include time multiplexing a plurality of substitution boxes (S-boxes) for instantaneous key generation and byte substitution operations. Bytes may be substituted in at least a portion of a current security key information and at least a portion of a subsequent security key information within said plurality of S-boxes. The current security key may comprise 128 bits, 192 bits or 256 bits and the portion of the current security key may comprise 32 bits. The substituted portion of the security key information may be communicated to a key generator. The subsequent security key information may be generated utilizing the substituted portion of the current security key information. The current security key information may then be stored.

  • Patent number: 7787569
    Abstract: A radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) includes a low noise amplifier that amplifies an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal to produce an amplified RF signal. A down conversion module converts the amplified RF signal to a down converted signal based on a local oscillation. An analog to digital conversion (ADC) module coupled to convert the down converted signal into a digital signal. A baseband processing module converts the digital signal into inbound data, wherein at least one function of the baseband processing module is clocked by a plurality of baseband clock signals A clock module produces the plurality of baseband clock signals, wherein the clock module detects an interference condition when frequency dependent noise components associated with at least one of the plurality of baseband clock signals are inside a frequency band associated with the inbound RF signal, and spreads the spectrum of the at least one of the plurality of baseband clock signals when the interference condition is detected.

  • Patent number: 7480489
    Abstract: A processor within a wireless terminal performs data compression, decompression and error correction according to a data compression protocol such as the V.42bis data compression protocol used within GSM wireless networks. This processor includes an interface that receives incoming information or data to be compressed or decompressed according to the data compression protocol. A processing module within the processor is operably coupled to the interface to receive and process the incoming information. Instructions executed within the processing module will divide the processing responsibilities between the processing module and a data compression/decompression accelerator operably coupled to the processing module. Compute intensive operations may be offloaded from the processing module onto the data compression/decompression accelerator to improve overall system efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7079054
    Abstract: Methods and systems for on-chip processing of data are disclosed. Aspects of the method may include generating a plurality of data processing commands for data compression. A first string of characters may be encoded in one operating cycle utilizing the generated plurality of data processing commands for data compression. The plurality of data processing commands may comprise a branch command, a register moving command, a register setting command, a memory load command, a memory store command, and/or a register compare command. The generated plurality of data processing commands may be stored. At least a portion of the stored data processing commands may be decoded. The decoded portion of the stored data processing commands may be sequenced. The first string of characters may be acquired from a character space. The acquired first string of characters may be matched with at least one existing codeword.
