摘要:
A method and system for using watermarks in communication systems is disclosed. Watermarks are typically small amounts of auxiliary data embedded in a cover signal. The cover signal is the primary communication signal, and may be binary bits, multi valued symbols, analog waveforms, or any other type of primary communication signal. Security strength indication, location tracking, intrusion detection and transmission of non-security information using watermarks are disclosed, along with a system for managing watermarks.

Tokens/keys are produced for wireless communications. These tokens/keys are used for watermarks, signature insertion, encryption and other uses. In one embodiment, contextual information is used to generate tokens/keys. The tokens/keys may be derived directly from the contextual information. The contextual information may be used in conjunction with other information to derive the tokens/keys. Tokens/keys may be exchanged between transmit/receive units. The exchange of these tokens/keys may be encrypted.

At least one At least one user data stream is layer 2/3 processed, physical layer processed and radio frequency processed. A watermark/signature is embedded at at least one of layer 2/3, physical layer or radio frequency, producing an embedded wireless communication. The embedded wireless communication is wirelessly transferred. The embedded wireless communication is received and the watermark/signature is extracted from the embedded wireless communication.

A digital satellite radio system includes a content server for providing digital satellite radio channels, a satellite for broadcasting the digital satellite radio channels, and a terrestrial repeater for broadcasting the digital satellite radio channels. A micro-repeater receives a selected digital satellite radio channel from the content server via the Internet while not receiving unselected digital satellite radio channels, and wirelessly broadcasts the selected digital satellite radio channel in a different waveform as used by the terrestrial repeater but using a same physical layer. A digital satellite radio unit receives the selected digital satellite radio channel from the micro-repeater while not receiving the unselected digital satellite radio channels.

A communications device for separating source signals provided by M signal sources includes an antenna array comprising N correlated antenna elements for receiving at least N different summations of the M source signals, with N and M being greater than 1. A receiver is connected to the antenna array for receiving the at least N different summations of the M source signals. A blind signal separation processor is connected to the receiver for forming a mixing matrix comprising up to the at least N different summations of the M source signals, and for separating desired source signals from the mixing matrix. The mixing matrix has a rank equal to at least N.
摘要:
A personal computer's (PC) microprocessor is used to provide both the physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) processing functions required to implement a wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter. This technique uses the polling mechanism associated with the power save (PS) functionality of WLAN protocol to relieve networking stress on the host processing system. It does this while maintaining networking integrity and packet delivery. The WLAN protocol polling mechanism is used to briefly inhibit the transfer of packets from the WLAN access point (AP) during peak periods of network traffic and/or host processor loading. Because the modulation, demodulation, and MAC functions, typically implemented in dedicated hardware on existing adapters are implemented in software running on the host PC microprocessor, other host system processes and applications can interfere with these time critical functions. Conversely, latency introduced by WLAN specific processing tasks during peak periods of network traffic may cause unacceptable delays to the other processes and applications requiring microprocessor attention. In addition to its primary stated purpose of allowing WLAN mobile stations to save power, this technique will use power save polling as a method for controlling delivery of network packets when the host is heavily loaded or when peak interrupt latencies make reliable packet delivery difficult or impossible.
摘要:
A system and method for encoding/decoding data channels in a CDMA system having data channel interference cancellation, wherein data channel interference cancellation is used to remove unwanted non-orthogonal pilot signal components which are present within a demodulated data signal. This is accomplished by regenerating interference terms with respect to the non-orthogonal pilot signal and subtracting them from the demodulated data signal.
