摘要:
Methods and systems for passive monitoring and analysis of large numbers of cellular communication channels. The processing functions of a monitoring system are split between a front-end processor and a host that communicate over an interface. The front-end processor may comprise a signal-processing board installed in the computer, and the interface comprises a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus. A Radio Frequency (RF) receiver receives and down-coverts one or more RF bands of interest, which comprise a large number of communication channels. The front-end processor digitizes the received signals and produces a plurality of single-channel digital signals. In order to avoid high data rates, the front-end processor generates and sends to the host multi-channel digital signals instead of single-channel digital signals for processing. Each multi-channel digital signal comprises a respective set of communication channels (e.g., four channels), which are distributed over frequency.

A multichannel radio receiver is configured to define at least two channel plans, each channel plan having at least one channel. The channel plans may differ due to channel bandwidths, channel locations, channel number and/or channel spacings. At least a portion of a radio spectrum may be common to at least two of the channel plans. At least two decoders may operate simultaneously to decode different modulation schemes on each of the at least two channel plans. In one example, two channel plans overlap portions of the radio spectrum. Two different and complementary modulation schemes are used on the two channel plans, respectively. The complementary modulation schemes reject signals associated with the other. Accordingly, portions of the radio spectrum are used simultaneously by at least two channel plans and at least two modulation schemes, respectively.

A radio may define a channel plan to include one or more channels, and each channel may include a plurality of overlapping filters. Each filter may overlap at least one other filter, such as by an expected bandwidth of an incoming signal. The overlapping filters may extend over a frequency range based in part on an expected frequency error of the incoming signal. Due in part to the overlapping nature of the filters, the incoming signal will be within at least one of the filters. Since only one of the filters must receive the incoming signal, the filters may be narrower than might otherwise be the case, particularly in an application that includes frequency error. Accordingly, the filters may be narrower than their respective channels, and therefore receive less noise and interference. This improves signal-to-noise and improves the quality of the link and range.

Embodiments may provide a way of communicating via an electromagnetic radiator, or light source, that can be amplitude modulated such as light emitting diode (LED) lighting and receivers or detectors that can determine data from light received from the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiator. Some embodiments may provide a method of transmitting/encoding data via modulated LED lighting and other embodiments may provide receiving/decoding data from the modulated LED lighting by means of a device with a low sampling frequency such as a relatively inexpensive camera (as might be found in a smart phone). Some embodiments are intended for indoor navigation via photogrammetry (i.e., image processing) using self-identifying LED light anchors. In many embodiments, the data signal may be communicated via the light source at amplitude modulating frequencies such that the resulting flicker is not perceivable to the human eye.

A method for modulating data for transmission within a communication system. The method includes establishing a time-frequency shifting matrix of dimension N×N, wherein N is greater than one. The method further includes combining the time-frequency shifting matrix with a data frame to provide an intermediate data frame. A transformed data matrix is provided by permuting elements of the intermediate data frame. A modulated signal is generated in accordance with elements of the transformed data matrix.

Aspects of a method and system for communicating via a spatial multilink repeater are provided. In this regard, a received signal may be frequency shifted to generate a plurality of repeated signals, wherein each repeated signal may be shifted by a different frequency with respect to the received signal. Each repeated signal may comprise one or more signal components and a phase and/or amplitude of each of the components may be controlled to control a directivity of the repeated signals. Each of the repeated signals may be generated by quadrature down-converting said received signal by mixing the received signal with a first LO signal pair, up-converting the down-converted signal by mixing it with a second LO signal pair, and adding or subtracting an in-phase portion and a quadrature-phase portion of the up-converted signal.

Improvements are disclosed for in-band signaling, i.e., transmission of data in a voice channel of a digital wireless network during a voice call session. A family of narrow-band signaling methods, some employing tapered waveforms, is disclosed to successfully pass data-carrying signals through the low-bit rate modes of the EVRC-B vocoder commonly used in CDMA wireless channels. These features can be used in cell phones or other wireless communication devices, including automotive applications.
