  • Patent number: 11327151
    Abstract: A base station includes a millimeter wave communication unit coupled to an impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication unit. The millimeter wave communication unit is capable of being wirelessly coupled to user-equipment using a millimeter wave communication link. Based on a determination as to whether the user-equipment is configured for IR-UWB ranging and localization, an IR-UWB communication link is established between the base station and user-equipment for IR-UWB ranging and localization. When the IR-UWB communication link is established for IR-UWB ranging and localization, the ranging and localization associated with the millimeter wave communication unit is disabled and the millimeter wave communication link is used for data communication maximizing throughput by utilizing localization and ranging information provided by the IR-UWB communication link.

  • Patent number: 8897446
    Abstract: Methods and algorithms for generating identical symmetrical cryptographic keys. In a method for generating a symmetrical cryptographic key, a first profile is generated, the first profile comprising a series of data points collected over a first period of time. A start time of the first profile is identified and the first profile divided into a sequence of time-based segments, each time-based segment comprising at least one data point. A first symmetrical cryptographic key is calculated from the sequence of time-based segments, and the first symmetrical cryptographic key is stored for at least one of encrypting and decrypting data in cooperation with a second symmetrical cryptographic key substantially identical to the first symmetrical cryptographic key.

  • Patent number: 8275123
    Abstract: Systems for exchanging encrypted data communications between devices. A system can comprise a first device and a second device. The first device can comprise a first sensor adapted to create a first data profile based at least in part on a sensed condition, and a first transceiver integrated with the first sensor and adapted to generate a first cryptographic key from the first data profile. The second device can comprise a second sensor adapted to create a second data profile based at least in part on the sensed condition, the second data profile being substantially similar to the first data profile, and a second transceiver integrated with the second sensor and adapted to generate a second cryptographic key from the second data profile, the first and second cryptographic keys comprising a set of identical cryptographic keys.
