Abstract

Systems, devices, software, and methods of the present invention provide for homomorphically encrypted (HE) and other data represented as polynomials of degree K−1 to be transformed in O(K*log(K)) time into ‘unique-spiral’ representations in which both linear-time (O(K)) addition and linear-time multiplication are supported without requiring an intervening transformation. This capability has never previously been available and enables very significant efficiency improvements, i.e., reduced runtimes, for applications such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Other efficient operations, such as polynomial division, raising to a power, integration, differentiation and parameter-shifting are also possible using the unique-spiral representations. New methods are introduced based on the unique-spiral representation that have applications to efficient polynomial composition, inversion, and other important topics.

Abstract

A method for communicating using polynomial-based signals. In such a method, a set of basis polynomial functions used to generate waveforms may be identified, wherein each of the basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions is orthogonal to each of the other basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions in a coordinate space. The set of basis polynomial functions may be combined into a message polynomial. The message polynomial may be convolved with a reference polynomial to produce a transmission polynomial. From the transmission polynomial, a sequence of amplitude values may be generated. Finally, a signal may be transmitted based on the sequence of amplitude values, which may be further modified based on, for example, instantaneous spectral analysis. In some embodiments, orthogonal polynomials may include Chebyshev or Cairns polynomials.

A method for communicating using polynomial-based signals. In such a method, a set of basis polynomial functions used to generate waveforms may be identified, wherein each of the basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions is orthogonal to each of the other basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions in a coordinate space. The set of basis polynomial functions may be combined into a message polynomial. The message polynomial may be convolved with a reference polynomial to produce a transmission polynomial. From the transmission polynomial, a sequence of amplitude values may be generated. Finally, a signal may be transmitted based on the sequence of amplitude values, which may be further modified based on, for example, instantaneous spectral analysis. In some embodiments, orthogonal polynomials may include Chebyshev or Cairns polynomials.

Abstract

A method for waveform bandwidth compression (WBC) and a system configured to perform the method, which may include the steps of: processing information to produce an input sequence of real-valued amplitude signals; fitting a polynomial to the input sequence covering at least one transmission time interval; converting the polynomial to a transmission signal comprising a sum of sinusoids with continuously time-varying amplitudes; transmitting the transmission signal; and receiving the transmission signal as a time-amplitude sequence. This method may significantly improve the spectral efficiency of existing transmission systems, while at the same time requiring only minimal modification to traditional radio architecture design.

Abstract

Methods and systems for communicating are disclosed. A method includes obtaining input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols, converting input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and transmitting transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another method includes receiving transmittable waveforms constructed using non-periodic functions and transmitted over a communication channel, and demodulating transmittable waveforms. A system includes a modulator adapted to obtain input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols and adapted to convert input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and a transmitter or transceiver adapted to transmit transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another system includes a receiver or transceiver adapted to receive transmittable waveforms transmitted over a communication channel and constructed using non-periodic functions, and a demodulator adapted to demodulate transmittable waveforms.

Abstract

Systems, devices, software, and methods of the present invention provide for homomorphically encrypted (HE) and other data represented as polynomials of degree K-1 to be transformed in O(Klog(K)) time into 'unique-spiral' representations in which both linear-time (O(K)) addition and linear-time multiplication are supported without requiring an intervening transformation. This capability has never previously been available and enables very significant efficiency improvements, i.e., reduced runtimes, for applications such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Other efficient operations, such as polynomial division, raising to a power, integration, differentiation and parameter-shifting are also possible using the unique-spiral representations. New methods are introduced based on the unique-spiral representation that have applications to efficient polynomial composition, inversion, and other important topics.
