  • Publication number: 20210021364
    Abstract: A system and method for permuting known and unknown message bits before encoding to provide a beneficial rearrangement of bits. Such a method can improve distance properties in the resulting subcode. In various embodiments, the structure of a beneficial rearrangement is dependent on the parameters of how known and unknown bits are grouped and on the specific type of code being used. Given these two parameters, the message bits can be rearranged to more efficiently leverage any apriori knowledge.

  • Patent number: 10812273
    Abstract: A method of processing a notification that is broadcast by a source server is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, at the computing device, the notification, the notification containing a first message; storing the first message in a message store; determining that the first message is a repeated message of a previous message that was received at the computing device prior to receiving the notification; and associating a message counter value of the first message with the previous message and a message counter value associated with the previous message in the message store.

  • Patent number: 10630665
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspects, a message is received at an electronic device from a sender. A first type 0 short message service (SMS) message is sent, from the electronic device to the sender. The first type 0 SMS message indicates an authentication request for the message. A second type 0 SMS message is received at the electronic device. The second type 0 SMS message indicates that the message is authenticated.

  • Patent number: 10531303
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspect, an electronic device selects a base station to camp on. A first message is sent from the electronic device to the base station. The first message is addressed to a server and requests the server to send a second message to the electronic device. Whether the electronic device receives the second message from the base station within a threshold time period after the first message is sent is determined. The electronic device determines that the base station has a security risk based at least in part on whether the second message is received within the threshold time period.

  • Patent number: 10361839
    Abstract: A method for encryption in a wireless communication system includes encrypting, at a base station, data of a physical layer control channel using at least one of a control channel type, a radio resource aggregation level of the control channel, a radio resource index of the control channel, or a subcarrier frequency of the control channel; and transmitting the encrypted data to a user equipment (UE), where the UE is in a cell of the base station.

  • Patent number: 10326544
    Abstract: A method for receiving public warning system (PWS) data includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a public warning system (PWS) message. The UE determines that the PWS message is a type 2 PWS message. The type 2 PWS message indicates that type 2 PWS data is delivered using a type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism. The type 2 PWS data is received using the type 2 PWS data delivery mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10284377
    Abstract: There is provided a method for secure communications. The method includes a computing device receiving a notification comprising a message, a counter value, a signature signed by a signer and based on the message and the counter value, and an indication of the signer. The device obtains a current counter value based on an identity of the signer, checks the signature and compares the counter value with the current counter value; and, if the counter comparison and the signature checking is successful, accepting the message.

  • Patent number: 10123222
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses involve implementing methods that may include receiving, by enhanced user equipment (eUE), an assignment of Resource Blocks (RBs) from an eNodeB (eNB), wherein the eUE is configured to receive full-duplex transmissions; for each assigned RB, measuring interference caused by uplink transmissions from one or more legacy UEs; and reporting, to the eNB, the measured interference. The present implementations may provide an eUE-based approach, an eUE and eNB interactive approach, an eUE baseband approach, and an eUE analog approach to reducing interference for full duplex enabled mobile devices.
