    摘要: The present invention relates to performing RF-based sensing and reacting to an event detected by the RF-based sensing with a consistent latency or at least with a latency within a latency range around the consistent latency. A latency of two or more groups (30, 40, 50, 60) of nodes (34, 36, 38, 44, 46, 54, 56, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68) each for performing RF-based sensing and reacting to the event detected by the RF-based sensing in a respective sensing area (32, 42, 52, 62) of multiple sensing areas is determined. The consistent latency is determined based on the determined latencies. At least one of the two or more of the groups (50, 60) is adapted such that they perform RF-based sensing and react to the event detected by the RF-based sensing with the consistent latency or at least with a latency within a latency range around the consistent latency.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a signal-emission control device (100) for controlling emission of RF communication signals (Si) in a wireless communication network (140) that includes a transmitter device (152) and a receiver device (154). The emission is controllable with respect to a variable signal parameter (P). An emission-value ascertainment unit (102) is configured to ascertain variation-data indicative of an emission-value variation of signal-parameter values of the signal parameter. A scheduling unit (110) is configured to ascertain operation-trigger data indicative of operation conditions for triggering control of emission of the wireless RF communication signals in accordance with the ascertained emission-value. A transmitter-control unit (104) is configured to control operation of transmitter device for transmitting the communication signals (Si) according to the emission-value variation of the respective signal-parameter value upon fulfilment of the operation conditions. This enables an increase of the verisimilitude of the provided communication signals against illegitimate RF-based eavesdropping.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an RF system (100) with a first node (10) and an RF signal diffuser (40). The first node (10) is configured for transmitting an RF signal (30). The RF signal diffuser (40) is configured for reflecting the RF signal (30) in multiple directions in order to generate additional paths (38) for a multipath channel based on the RF signal (30). The RF signal diffuser (40) and the first node (10) are arranged with a distance (50) to each other and are configured such that at least one of the additional paths (38) of the multipath channel has sufficient transmission power for performing RF-based sensing in asensing area (60). The RF system (100) is configured for performing RF-based sensing based on at least two paths (36, 38) of the multipath channel including at least the one of the additional paths (38).
