    Abstract: A secure training sequence (STS) is included in wireless packets communicated between electronic devices to assist with channel estimation and wireless ranging. The STS includes multiple STS segments generated based on outputs from a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG), the STS segments being separated by guard intervals and formatted in accordance with an 802.15.4 data symbol format that uses burst position modulation (BPM) and binary phase shift keying (BPSK) to map bits from the CSPRNG to burst positions and pulse polarities for the STS symbols. Both a first electronic device, which generates the STS, and a second electronic device, which estimates a communication channel using the STS, have prior private knowledge of cryptographic keys required to generate a non-repetitive single-use pseudo-random (PR) sequence by the CSPRNG. The STS includes two burst position intervals per STS symbol and two possible burst positions within each burst position interval.

    Abstract: In a broadband wireless communication system, a spread spectrum signal is intentionally overlapped with an OFDM signal, in a time domain, a frequency domain, or both. The OFDM signal, which inherently has a high spectral efficiency, is used for carrying broadband data or control information. The spread spectrum signal, which is designed to have a high spread gain for overcoming severe interference, is used for facilitating system functions such as initial random access, channel probing, or short messaging. Methods and techniques are devised to ensure that the mutual interference between the overlapped signals is minimized to have insignificant impact on either signal and that both signals are detectable with expected performance by a receiver.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for isolating radio frequency (RF) signals in high frequency circuit assemblies, including but not limited to 5G communication systems, are provided. The circuit assemblies include an RF suppression structure, which can be in the form of a low ohm resistor, that extends across a transmission line, and that has contacts that are electrically joined to a ground plane. Alternatively or in addition, the circuit assemblies include a low ohm resistor that extends over a transition between a signal via and an end of a transmission line, and that has contacts that are electrically joined to a ground plane. A circuit assembly as disclosed herein can further include multiple low ohm resistors spaced apart from one another by a distance that is a fraction of a wavelength of a highest frequency signal carried by the transmission line.

    Abstract: “Tiered” groups of devices (tiered service radios) and/or licenses associated with the devices or users so as to provide a hieratical set of interference protection mechanisms for members of each tier of service are disclosed. Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data links for any communication application, including wireless backhaul applications, are also disclosed. Exemplary systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein allow for the efficient operation of such a tiered service. Interference protection among tiered service devices belonging to one or more tiers of the service, from other devices within the same tier of service, or devices of other tiers of service, is disclosed. Identification of other devices of the same or differing tiers of service, and interference mitigation between other tiered service devices based upon intercommunication between the devices, and/or via a central registry database, are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A satellite radio signal receiver includes a receiving section which receives radio signals from satellites and demodulates the signals to identify bits of the demodulated signals as received bits; and a processor. The processor compares each received bit of the satellites with estimated bits which are estimated to be received within a possible deviation range from a current date and time acquired as a reception timing of the received bit to obtain comparison result information between the received bits and the estimated bits in relation to deviations within the possible deviation range with respect to each of the satellites, integrates the comparison result information on the received bits of the satellites, specifies a deviation that satisfies a match condition of the received bits and the estimated bits based on the integrated comparison result information, and acquires date and time information based on the deviation that satisfies the match condition.
