    Abstract: A detector module (100) is operable in a cognitive radio device and capable of determining channel occupancy. The detector module comprises a sensor (110) for sensing incumbent signals at a variable sensing threshold, wherein the sensor generates a first occupancy indication indicating whether the channel includes an incumbent signal having a sensing metric above the variable sensing threshold; a geo-location unit (120) for generating a second occupancy indication based on a location of the detector module; and a decision unit (130) for generating an occupancy decision based on both the first occupancy indication and the second occupancy indication.

    Abstract: A method and system for efficiently utilizing frequency spectrum resources is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining at least one spectrum opportunity (510), wherein the opportunity is identified by a frequency range and a time duration, determining a set of altered transmission characteristics (515, 517) to allow transmission of a desired signal in the identified frequency range, wherein the altered transmission characteristics avoid interference with signals expected in the frequency range, and transmitting said desired signal using the altered transmission characteristics when the transmission occurs during said time duration. In one aspect of the system, the step of determining at least one opportunity comprises the steps of receiving signals in known frequency ranges, and determining the characteristics of the received signals. The system comprises a receiving unit (1001) for receiving information items regarding at least one receivable signal, a processing unit (862) for determining characteristics of the at least one received signal, a managing unit (864) for altering transmission characteristics of a desired signal based on the determined received signal characteristics, wherein the altered transmission characteristics avoid interference with the received signals and a transmission unit (866) receiving said altered transmission characteristics to transmit said desired signal. In one aspect, the desired signal transmission characteristics are altered in a frequency range/time period to avoid interference with received signals in the frequency range.

    Abstract: A video signal authentication system utilizes selected portions of a video signal to generate authentication codes that are transmitted in association with respective portions of the signal. The video signal preferably is in compressed format and includes synchronizing codes. The data between synchronizing codes preferably is used as discreet portions of the video signal. Each discreet portion is utilized with a selectively known key and a hash-based authentication code generating strategy to generate an authentication code. Each video portion preferably has its own authentication code. The authentication code is appended to the portion of the video signal and transmitted from a first location to the second location. At the second location, the same authentication code generating strategy is performed on the received portion of video data to generate a received authentication code. The transmitted authentication code is then compared to the received authentication code to verify the authenticity of the transmitted portion of the video signal.
