  • Publication number: 20230283452
    Abstract: A cryptographic system includes a block transfer engine and a crypto map unit. The block transfer engine is configured to receive a plurality of encrypted counter values and a plurality of packet attributes. The block transfer engine is further configured to determine a subset of encrypted counter values from the plurality of counter values that is to be used to encrypt a subset of incoming packets from a plurality of incoming packets. Encrypted counter values other than the subset of encrypted counter values are stored for later encryption use. The crypto map unit is configured to receive the plurality of incoming packets and the subset of encrypted counter values from the block transfer engine. The crypto map unit is further configured to encrypt the subset of incoming packets from the received plurality of incoming packets with the subset of encrypted counter values.

  • Patent number: 8982910
    Abstract: A fixed Generic Mapping Procedure (GMP) apparatus and method are provided to map client data to an optical transport frame. Client data to be mapped into a payload field of an optical transport frame is received and store in a memory. Timing information is generated based on bit and fractional bit granularity of client data mapped into the payload field of successive optical transport frames for use in recovering the client data from received optical transport frames.

  • Publication number: 20090257602
    Abstract: A device for transmitting a sound signal received from a source to an in-vehicle audio system includes sound input circuitry operable to receive a sound signal, control circuitry operable to convert the sound signal to a signal for transmission, and two transmitters both operable to transmit the signal for transmission to the in-vehicle audio system in a radio transmission channel. The control circuitry is also operable to change radio transmission channel by performing a frequency handover including changing from transmitting the signal for transmission from a first transmitter in a current channel to transmitting the signal for transmission from a second transmitter in a new channel.

  • Patent number: 7564790
    Abstract: A method and system for shaping traffic in a multi-level queuing hierarchy are disclosed. The hierarchy includes a high priority channel and a low priority channel, wherein traffic on the low priority channel is fragmented and interleaved with traffic from the high priority channel and traffic combined from the high priority and low priority channels has a maximum shape rate. The method includes linking a high priority token bucket to a low priority token bucket, transmitting data from the high priority channel, and decrementing the low priority token bucket by an amount corresponding to the data transmitted. Data is transmitted from the low priority channel only if the low priority bucket has available tokens.
