  • Patent number: 12689521
    Abstract: A transmitter which comprises a controller configured to receive data that is provided with a signature, derive control signals from the data, and output the control signals. The transmitter further comprises an integrated circuit configured to verify the signature and circuitry configured to, depending on a verification result output by the integrated circuit, reject the control signals or transmit the control signals to a receiver via a communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20260046062
    Abstract: A method of encoding data, a method of decoding data, an encoder, and a decoder are provided. The decoder is configured to determine a convolutionally coded message from two or more symbol sequences, wherein each of the symbol sequences is assigned to different bit sequences according to an assignment rule and the convolutionally coded message corresponds to a bit sequence that is assigned to all symbol sequences according to the common assignment rule, and to decode the convolutionally coded message.

  • Publication number: 20260025220
    Abstract: A method and a system for transmitting data over transmission channels shared by several communication participants through time-division multiplexing. Each of the communication participants is configured to dynamically assign messages which are to be sent over the transmission channels to the transmission channels and to assign messages which are to be sent over the transmission channels and which comprise data that is to be transmitted redundantly, to different transmission channels. The communication participants may be further configured to cooperatively determine, in a conflict resolution phase assigned to a time slot, for each of the transmission channels, which of the communication participants is authorized to transmit over the respective transmission channel in the time slot.

  • Publication number: 20250392475
    Abstract: A sender, a receiver, and a method are provided for verifying the validity of data transmitted via a transmission channel, comprising the steps of generating first signature information on the basis of first data and a first key, augmenting the first signature information on the basis of second data and a second key. The first data is redundant with respect to the second data if the first and second data are valid. The first data or the second data and the augmented signature information is transmitted from a sender to a receiver via the transmission channel. The receiver verifies whether the augmented signature information was generated on the basis of the received data, the first key, and the second key.

  • Publication number: 20250392534
    Abstract: A system is provided for transmitting data over a medium shared by several communication participants through time-division multiplexing comprising a communication participant and a monitoring module. The communication participant is configured to output first signals which are intended to be transmitted over the medium and to read second signals transmitted over the medium, and the monitoring module is configured to read the first signals and the second signals and to decide, on the basis of the read first and second signals.

  • Patent number: 11275878
    Abstract: A system for producing a data stream based on redundant information that has a first controller, a second controller and a circuit. The first controller outputs a first part of first data via a first data output. The second controller outputs a second part of second data via a second data output. The circuit combines the data that is output to form a data stream. The first controller reads in at least the second part of second data of the combined data stream. The second controller reads in at least the first part of first data of the combined data stream. The read-in second part of second data is compared with a second part of the first data and if the comparison indicates a deviation, to stop outputting data via the first data output and/or to block the forwarding of the data stream.

  • Patent number: 11016523
    Abstract: A circuit is provided that has three clock sources, a first processing unit connected to the first clock source, a second processing unit connected to the second clock source, and an input unit. The first processing unit has a first logic circuit and a first memory circuit connected to the first logic circuit, wherein a first set of instructions, which is designed to implement a first control program when executed by the first logic circuit, is stored in the first memory circuit, wherein the first clock source specifies a clock timing of the execution of the first set of instructions. The second processing unit has a second logic circuit and a second memory circuit connected to the second logic circuit, wherein a second set of instructions, which is designed to implement a second control program when executed by the second logic circuit, is stored in the second memory circuit.
