Abstract: Packet recovery mechanisms for wireless networks, which improve end-to-end (e2e) reliability, are provided. First embodiments include packet retransmission between a receiver and a transmitter, wherein, if the transmitter cannot find a lost packet in its transmission buffer, the transmitter sends a First Sequence Number (FSN) report to the receiver to notify the receiver of a sequence number (SN) of an oldest (acknowledged) packet in the buffer. In response, the receiver does not report lost packets whose SN is older than the FSN. Second embodiments involve using a network coding algorithm to recover lost packets, wherein the transmitter sends a control message to the receiver that includes a coded packet to be recovered and information for decoding the coded packet. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A mutual authentication protocol based on radio frequency (RF) fingerprint and fuzzy extractor is provided. Two kinds of nodes in the protocol are denoted by authenticator and verifier respectively. In the registration phase, the verifier sends a registration request to the verifier, the verifier receives its RF fingerprint and uses the fuzzy extractor to process it. After storing the help string P related to the verifier, the key generated by R is returned to the verifier, and the verifier stores the key after receiving it. In the authentication phase, the verifier sends an encrypted message containing the challenge value to the verifier. After receiving it, the verifier recovers the key needed for decryption through the fuzzy extractor using the extracted RF fingerprint and the previously stored P value, and returns a reply message to the verifier to achieve the final two-way authentication effect.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-load wireless power transfer system based on high-order Anti-PT symmetry. By introducing a “W-shaped” anti-resonance mode into a basic WPT platform, an effective Anti-PT non-Hermitian system is conveniently constructed. The “level attraction” of the anti-resonance mode is combined with the “level splitting” of the anti-resonance mode and the resonance mode, to study the “level pinning” effect of high-order Anti-PT symmetry. Compared with the traditional resonant WPT, the anti-resonant WPT has higher security, stability, transfer efficiency, and flexibility. Considering the miniaturization and integration of devices, a “meta coil” is designed by using a “synthetic dimension”, and used to construct a high-order Anti-PT symmetric system, thereby achieving multi-load efficient WPT. The new WPT technology based on the “level pinning” effect of high-order Anti-PT symmetry provides a good application research platform for enriching non-Hermitian physics.
