Abstract:
A method for detecting the presence of a signal in a frequency spectrum is provided. The method includes receiving the frequency spectrum. The power spectral density of the received frequency spectrum is estimated. A plurality of frequency bins are segmented for the frequency spectrum based on the estimated power spectral density. For segments with an estimated power spectral density above a first threshold, a radar spectral signature matching algorithm is applied to detect the presence of the signal and for segments with a power estimate below the first threshold and above a second threshold, additional techniques are applied to detect the presence of the signal.

A digital receiver is provided. The digital receiver includes an oscillator that generates an oscillating signal at a selected frequency, and a complex mixer, coupled to the oscillator and configured to receive samples of a wideband signal from a digital interface. The complex mixer moves a signal of interest in the wideband signal to baseband. The digital receiver also includes at least one filter, coupled to the complex mixer, that down-samples the baseband signal to a narrowband signal and an output, coupled to the at least one filter, that is adapted to output the narrowband signal for analysis.
Abstract:
A system and method for determining the location of a mobile device in a communications network. A set of network measurement reports (NMR) may be provided for a region in the network. NMRs in the first set may be clustered as a function of observed measurement information in the NMRs. A candidate NMR for a mobile device may be received, and the candidate NMR may then be associated with a selected cluster of NMRs. The candidate NMR and a second set of NMRs may then be clustered, and a location of the mobile device determined as a function of the clustered candidate NMR and second set of NMRs, where the NMRs in the second set are associated with the selected cluster.
