Title: Methods of accessing and providing access to a remote resource from a data processing device
Inventor: LUFF GERAINT
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2014-06-03
Abstract: A method of accessing a remote resource from a data processing device, whilst maintaining privacy, includes obtaining a first Uniform Resource Locator, URL, 10 corresponding to the remote resource, obtaining secret data corresponding to the first URL, using the secret data to generate an obscured URL 12 at the data processing device, and accessing 14 the remote resource using the obscured URL. This allows the user of the device to see a first URL which is intelligible without sharing that information with the network. The obscured URL may identify the actual location of the remote resource and can be an unintelligible stream of digits or letters. Such a method may conceal sensitive information in typical URLs, e.g. observable from the folder structure of typical URLs, and/or information about the user/owner of the device, which may be hidden from e.g. cloud storage providers using the method described. A one-way hash transformation of the first URL may be performed to obtain the obscured URL, using secret data of the user of the data processing device to generate a user-specific obscured URL. The obscured URL may be used to point to a location of a key node which stores the actual resource URL at the location indicated by the obscured URL.

IPC: H03F3/72
Filed: 2015-04-08
Abstract: A multiple input low noise amplifier circuit may include a first input stage 142 for receiving a first RF signal in a first band, and a second input stage 144 for receiving a second RF signal in a second band. The first and second signal paths may include filters, not shown, for the respective bands.

The processed first and second RF signals may be combined at common node 136 and further processed by a common adder 146 to provide an output RF signal at output node 138. The combination of the first current converter 142 and the common adder 146 operates as first cascode amplifier. Similarly, the second current converter 144 and the shared, common adder 146 operate together as second cascode amplifier. Bias switches S1 and S3 may be used to turn on one or other amplifier, or both amplifiers, to combine signals. The signal paths themselves are free of switches, allowing the carrier aggregation circuit to operate with reduced noise figure.

Title: Method and apparatus for irregular signal transmission in a system with reception gaps
Inventor: PATRICK SVEDMAN
IPC: H04W76/04
Filed: 2014-09-16
Abstract: The proposed approach contemplates systems and methods configured to transmit signals irregularly (sparsely) over a mobile communication network (carrier) in which reception gaps apply while increasing the likelihood that receivers will receive a signal at least once during a certain time period, called irregular signal period. First, a set of transmission offsets is selected, the transmission offsets defining a relative transmission time in a burst, such that if a burst would be transmitted using the selected transmission offsets, a receiver with any valid reception gap configuration would receive at least one signal in its whole duration. Then, during an irregular signal period, signals are transmitted in a sequence of one or more consecutive bursts using each of the transmission offsets in the selected set at least once, wherein the sequence of bursts may be preceded and/or followed by a period of no signal transmission. Finally, a receiver receives at least one of the irregular signals in its whole duration during one of the reception gaps of the receiver.

IPC: H04W36/32
Filed: 2016-09-27
Abstract: Handovers between access points 2005 2010 2015 in a wireless communication system 2000 are performed according to the spatial location of user equipment (UE) 2050. The spatial location is derived by steering the antenna lobes of a steerable antenna system, and the handover control system 2040 effects a handover by denying the UE access to a first access point but allowing access to a second. The antenna system may comprise first and second antenna arrays with respective lobes, the pointing angles of which may be varied independently. The lobes may be arranged orthogonally and may intersect. The system may further comprise a database of cell boundary loci for each access point, and these may be compared with the reported location of the UE to determine which access points may provide access. In an embodiment, the UE transmits an RF signal which is received by an antenna lobe steered to a plurality of pointing angles. The communication system may use Wi-Fi and beam-steering access points.
