Title: A method and system for transferring data
Inventor: TARATINE BORIS
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2013-03-19
Abstract: A communications system 10 has a first node arranged to send data to a plurality of second nodes 12A, 12B using a first protocol. The first protocol allows the transfer of data of a first type. At least one of the second nodes additionally requires data of a second type, which is not included in the data sent according to the first protocol. First data, of the first type, is transferred to a plurality of the second nodes using the first protocol. Second data, of the second type, is stored in a memory 16. Subsequently, in response to a request, access to the second data is provided to the second node. The first protocol may define a plurality of fields and the second data may comprise data which does not correspond with those fields. The first data may be payment data sent via an intermediary acquiring bank data processing system to the second node. Second data may be generated using the first data using an algorithm which computes a hash function or digital signature, and uses a cryptographic key, thus enabling the data transferred to be verified using the generated data.

Title: System and method for test and/or calibration of multi-channel RF communication devices
Inventor: ZHU WEN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2016-05-11
Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of testing a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) device using a single channel measurement instrument. A single-channel signal generator 110 generates a test signal which is distributed 104 to each of the RF channels of the MIMO device under test (DUT) 10. The multiple RF channel signals output from the DUT are combined 120 and the resulting combined signal is passed to the single-channel measurement instrument 130. Each RF channel of the DUT receives the same test signal, but a different time offset is applied to each RF channel 105. The time offsets may be applied upstream of the DUT or downstream of the DUT (see Fig 3). The test signals should be Zadoff-Chu sequences, or at least have an ideal autocorrelation characteristic, e.g. by having zero-autocorrelation at non-zero time offsets. This allows the single-channel measurement instrument to independently measure each of the RF channels. Preferably, time offsets are such that the RF channel test signals overlap in time.
