Title: Method for extracting synchronisation data
Inventor: Kasper Ornstein Mecklenburg
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2018-05-08
Abstract: There is provided a method of extracting synchronisation data from a plurality of subframes in a received signal, the subframes comprising symbol components S602 having associated synchronisation data components and associated cyclic shift coefficients, where the associated synchronisation data components are repeated between the subframes. The method includes modifying the symbol components to compensate for the associated cyclic shift coefficients S603, accumulating the modified symbol components S604, decoding the modified symbol components S605 and determining the synchronisation data from the accumulated modified components S606. In an NB-IoT signal, a Narrowband Secondary Synchronisation Signal (NSSS) comprising subframes is transmitted every two system frames (20ms) and an identical NSSSs every eight frames (80ms). The cyclic shift coefficients within a subframe convey timing information determined by the system frame number. In order to artificially reduce SNR a UE may accumulate identical subframes once they are received. By modifying the cyclic shift component of the received symbol components, the UE is able to accumulate frames more quickly, instead of waiting to receive symbol components with identical cyclic shift components. The symbol components may be modified by changing signs and/or swapping real or imaginary parts.

Title: Barrier-free atomic transfer of multiword data
Inventor: Alasdair grant
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 2018-08-14
Abstract: A multi-core system passes a block of data from a producer processor to a consumer processor via a shared memory. The memory has a word size, which is the maximum size, which can be written atomically. The producer divides the data into individual elements, which are smaller than this word size. A common serial number is then added to the elements to make combined elements which are size of the shared memory words. The producer then atomically writes each combined element to a word in the shared memory. The consumer atomically reads each combined element from the shared memory. It extracts the serial numbers from the combined elements and compares them. If they are all the same, then the data set is consistent. If so, the consumer extracts the data elements and reconstructs the original data set. If the serial numbers are not the same, then the consumer repeats the process. When the producer writes a new block of data, it uses a different serial number.

Title: Determining security vulnerabilities in application programming interfaces
Inventor: Shane Wilton
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A security system scans application programming interfaces (APIs) to detect security vulnerabilities by receiving API documentation from a third-party system associated with the API and organizing it in an API specification that describes the hostname of the API and one or more endpoints of the API. For each of the endpoints, the API specification includes a uniform resource identifier, a method term, an input content type, an output content type (if applicable), authorization details, and any associated parameters or arguments. The security system performs an audit job for each combination of endpoints, potential security vulnerabilities, and (in some embodiments) authentication flows. In some embodiments, the security system is able to access portions of the API requiring authentication by using authentication flows received from the third-party system and detect security vulnerabilities related to authentication by manipulating the authentication units that make up the authentication flow.

Title: Multicast assisted delivery
Inventor: TIMOTHY STEVENS
IPC: H04W4/06
Filed: 2020-02-24
Abstract: A method of delivering content over a network using an approach referred to as "Multicast Assisted Unicast Delivery" (MAUD), wherein a multicast network is used to assist, rather than substituting, an otherwise unicast path. Content is requested by client devices 304 from a content server 302 over unicast. The responses containing the requested content are separated into two components: a first component containing elements specific to individual client devices (for example session specific data, cookie, token etc.), and a second component that is common to all/cohort of client devices (e.g. the video content requested). The first client-specific component is delivered over unicast and the second common component over multicast. Identifiers are introduced into each of the first and second components to facilitate recombination of the components to form the original responses. The splitting and reassembly of responses into/from components is handled by suitably configured proxy servers 306, 308 between the content server and client devices. Therefore, the hybrid unicasting and multicasting is utilised in the distribution of content from one proxy server 306 to another 308. A multicast controller 312 may also be present monitoring the operation of the proxy servers to co-ordinate when MAUD multicast assistance should be used.

Title: Image generation system and method
Inventor: COLIN JONATHAN HUGHES
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-03-18
Abstract: Rasterising an image of a virtual environment (VE), comprising: obtaining a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) wherein each BVH node is associated with geometry information for objects contained within a respective bounding volume; identifying a viewing frustrum associated with a virtual camera defining a viewpoint within the VE; identifying a BVH node associated with a bounding volume that is intersected by the frustum; rasterising an image of the VE using the geometry information associated with the identified BVH node. Spatial positions of BVH nodes and the frustum may be compared to identify nodes within the frustum. Intersection testing may begin with top level BVH nodes or BVH levels selected based on metadata or BVH size. BVH nodes not intersected by the frustum may be discarded. Intersection determination may be performed recursively on sub-nodes or child nodes within the frustum up to a threshold level of detail (eg. bounding volume size being a multiple of pixel size) or to leaf nodes, which contain primitives. An imposter (eg. Gaussian splat) may replace elements of the BVH. Geometry clusters may be used. BVHs may be traversed asymmetrically. Saliency maps based on focus likelihood or gaze direction may identify importance of VE regions containing objects.

Title: Improvements in and relating to positioning
Inventor: MYTHRI HUNUKUMBURE
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2020-11-16
Abstract: Determining the position of User Equipment, UE 40, in a telecommunication network, comprising the steps of: the UE prioritising beam indices in one or more of time, frequency or code domains in uplink transmissions to one or more base stations, gNBs 10, 20, 30, in the network; and a localisation function 50 determining the UE position on the basis of information provided the base stations. The prioritising comprises determining a location associated with a serving or neighbour gNB and steering a beam towards the location or, in a fixed beam system, identifying a beam having the best signal strength in a direction of the serving or neighbour gNB. Beam indices having a higher priority are: located earlier in a subframe (time domain), first used to fill frequency slots (frequency domain), spreading codes with zero/low cross correlation and higher detectable properties (code domain). Beam prioritisation can reduce the high variance in the time needed to estimate the angle of arrival (AoA), giving a high degree of stability for the speed of localisation, providing precise, low latency positioning in the uplink for Industrial IoT networks by prioritising the beams which are most relevant to the positioning procedures.
