The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for sequentially detecting and decoding multiuser sparse code multiple access (SCMA) signal. A detection method includes selecting a single variable node depending on how much the plurality of variable nodes each use function nodes that connect to updated variable nodes; updating messages passed to the single variable node, based on a function node input message passed to the plurality of function nodes and signals received by the plurality of function nodes through channels; mapping updated messages to a priori information of a channel decoder; inputting the priori information to the channel decoder and thereby obtaining probability information of a symbol for the single variable node; and updating messages passed from the single variable node to one of the plurality of function nodes by applying a weight to the probability information of the symbol for the single variable node.

An outdoor satellite receiving unit (ODU) receives several independent satellite signals, selects two signals with a switch matrix, downconverts the two signals to a bandstacked signal with a high and a low band signal, and outputs the bandstacked signal on the same cable to receiver units. Several satellite signals can be selected in groups of two or more and output to independent receiver units. Signal selecting is performed at the received radio frequency (RF) and bandstacking is performed with a single downconversion step to an intermediate frequency (IF). Channel stacking on the same cable of more than two channels from several satellites can be achieved by using frequency agile downconverters and bandpass filters prior to combining at the IF output. A slow transitioning switch minimizes signal disturbances when switching and maintains input impedance at a constant value.

A method to provide authentication services to third party vendors by a service provider hosting an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server or a similar device that can authenticate users for some other service. This method enables easy and substantially error-free end-user authentication, which forms the basis for enabling electronic transactions (e.g., web-based) that are less vulnerable to fraud.
