METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SYNCHRONIZE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529105 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SYNCHRONIZE DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and system for synchronizing devices using an access address generator, selector, and analyzer to generate and identify access addresses based on specific criteria.
- Access address generator cryptographically generates a first bit sequence.
- Access address selector reads first and second portions of the first bit sequence.
- Access address analyzer identifies first and second access addresses based on autocorrelation functions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Wireless communication systems
- IoT devices
- Network security protocols
Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted
Sequences to synchronize devices and related methods are disclosed herein including an access address generator to cryptographically generate a first bit sequence, an access address selector to read a first portion of the first bit sequence and read a second portion of the first bit sequence, the second portion different than the first portion, an access address analyzer to identify a first access address from a first section of the first portion based on a first criteria, the first criteria a function of a first autocorrelation function and identify a second access address from a second section of the second portion based on a second criteria, the second criteria a function of a second autocorrelation function.
