Embodiments of the invention include a communication interface and protocol for allowing communication between devices, circuits, integrated circuits and similar electronic components having different communication capacities or clock domains. The interface supports communication between any components having any difference in capacity and over any distance. The interface utilizes request and acknowledge phases and signals and an initiator-target relationship between components that allow each side to throttle the communication rate to an accepted level for each component or achieve a desired bit error rate.

An apparatus and associated methods to provide precision ranging measurements in an ultrawideband (UWB) wireless communication system are generally described. In this regard, according to one example embodiment, an innovative ranging agent is introduced that effectively computes one or more of the time of signal propagation, the difference in local clocks and frequency offsets to calculate an increasingly accurate estimate of the proximal distance between two or more devices in UWB communication.x.

Disclosed are a system and method of processing upstream bandwidth allocation messages in a downstream management message received at a client termination device. Bandwidth allocation elements based upon selected ones of the bandwidth allocation messages are stored in a data buffer. The stored bandwidth allocation elements may be accessed from the buffer in response to a validation of a cyclic redundancy code in the downstream management message.

A cipher system having a cipher core to encrypt plaintext data into ciphertext data, and a bus interface coupled to the cipher core to transfer the ciphertext data to a bus. In one embodiment, the cipher core comprises a block assembler to receive words of data and to assemble the words into a block, an encryption function to encrypt the block based on an encryption function key, a block transmitter to receive the encrypted block and to disassemble the encrypted block into encrypted data words, and a controller to control multiple rounds of encryption by the encryption function for the block. In another embodiment, the encryption function is duplicated and the controller is replaced by two controllers, the first controller controlling the first five rounds of encryption of the block and the second controller controlling the second five rounds of encryption of the block.
