Abstract: A wireless communication system is arranged in a generally linear chain and is initially set up by providing a control module (100) and a first communications module (101). The communications module (101) transmits a rad io frequency wireless message to the control module (100), and the control modu le (100) has address number (0), and the communications module (101) is allocat ed address number (1), so that it communicates directly with the control module (100). When a second communications module (102) is to be inserted into the system in the position shown in figure (5)(i.e. at the end of the chain remo te from the control module (100)), the new module (102) is caused to emit a message in a set-up mode. Initially, the existing module (100, 101) which received the message with the strongest signal intensity (module (101) in th e case of figure (5), because of its proximity to the new module (102)) is identified. The new module (102) is then caused to communicate directly with the existing module (101) by allocating address number (2) to the module (10 2).

Title: Reduced complexity channel estimation for wireless communication systems
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAM ANAND D
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: Techniques to derive a channel estimate using substantially fewer number of complex multiplications than with a brute-force method to derive the same channel estimate. In one method, an intermediate vector B (418) is initially derived based on K sub-vectors of a vector H for a channel frequency respons e estimate and at least two DFT sub-matrices for a DFT matrix W , where K > 1. An intermediate matrix A (420) for the DFT matrix W is also obtained. A leas t square channel impulse response estimate is then derived based on the intermediate vector B and the intermediate matrix A (422). In one implementation, the intermediate vector B is obtained by first computing DFT s of a matrix HTXL , which is formed based on the vector H, to provide a matri x GLXL. Inner products between the columns of a base DFT sub-matrix W1 and the rows of the matrix GLXL are then computed to obtain the entries of the intermediate vector B .

Abstract: Methods and systems for the negotiation of a population of RFID tags (120) with improved security is provided. In one aspect, a binary traversal is performed to singulate tags without using information that directly identifies the tags (102) in the tag population. A key is generated to identify each RFID  tag of the population of RFID tags. The generated key does not include bits identifying an item with which the particular RFID tag is associated. A binary tree algorithm is operated to identify one or more tags in the population of RFIDs tags using the generated keys. In another aspect, frequency hopping and/or spread spectrum techniques are used to provide improved security while negotiating tags. In another aspect, the reader (104) causes the tags to scroll series of bits back to the reader for each bit sent to the tags to provide improved security.
