    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: There is disclosed an image retrieval system for analyzing an image in a first color model format and detecting and retrieving from the image a selected image portion. The image retrieval system comprises an image processor for converting pixels in the image from the first color model format to a (Yr&thgr;) color model format, where Y is an intensity component indicating a total amount of light, r is a saturation component indicating an amount of white light mixed with a color of each pixel, and &thgr; is a hue component indicating the color of each pixel. The image processor groups spatially adjacent pixels into image regions according to hue components of the adjacent pixels and performs a merging process wherein a first image region and an adjacent second image region are merged into a composite region if a hue difference between the first and second image regions is less than a predetermined hue difference threshold. The process is repeated to continually merge regions of similar hue until no further merges can be performed.

    Abstract: Self-coexistence of first and second wireless communication networks (200) is improved by transmitting a coexistence beacon from a first station (210, 220) of the first wireless communication network (200) to a first station (210, 220) of the second wireless communication network (200. The coexistence beacon includes information about a traffic reservation of the first station (210, 220) of the first wireless communication network (200). The first station (210, 220) of the second wireless communication network (200) may then use this information in a variety of ways to reduce data collisions between the two networks (200). It can communicate this information to a base station (210) of the second wireless communication network (200). The base station (210) of the second wireless communication network (200) can then use this information to more efficiently allocate frequency channels and/or time slots for future traffic reservations of the first station (220) of the second wireless communication network (200).

    Abstract: A device (400) scans and classifies each channel within a spectrum of channels (215-270) as being occupied or unoccupied (255), and, if occupied, whether it is occupied by a primary user (240), a secondary user (230), or an unknown user (260). As a secondary device (400), transmissions are avoided on channels occupied by primary users (490). The device selectively joins an existing network of secondary devices, or establishes a new network on an unoccupied channel (125), based on the quality of service (QoS) that the channel can provide and/or other factors. If the device is paired with a target device (115), the paired device advertises itself on a selected channel (345-360) for a period that is at least as long as the time required to scan all channels, to facilitate discovery in the event that the target device is also in a search mode. The advertising duration randomly alternates (345) among integer multiples of the scan duration.

    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.
