摘要:
A cognitive radio determines a frequency channel of a spectrum, determines from a locally stored association of individual channels to either of at least two categories (e.g., in use and backup, other is a third category) a selected category for the determined frequency channel. From the selected category is determined a time at which to sense the determined frequency channel. The determined frequency channel is then sensed at the determined time and results of the sensing may be transmitted. Timers may be associated with each of the categories and adjusted based on density of cognitive nodes. A timer for the in use category is shortest, a timer for the other category is longest, and a timer for the backup category is between shortest and longest.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for mitigating narrowband interference within a system for wideband communications. The method can include separating a wideband signal into a plurality of sub bands, detecting energy levels in the sub-bands, and activating a control signal if the energy levels of the sub-bands differ by a predetermined amount. Such a difference in energy levels can indicate that narrowband interference is present and interference mitigation features can be activated. In another embodiment, a system is disclosed that has a band splitter and a plurality of energy level detectors to detect energy differences in the sub bands. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
摘要:
An apparatus for providing directional audio capture may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including assigning at least one beam direction, among a plurality of beam directions, in which to direct directionality of an output signal of one or more microphones. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to divide microphone signals of the microphones into selected frequency subbands wherein an analysis performed. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to select at least one set of microphones of the apparatus for selected frequency subbands. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to optimize the assigned at least one beam direction by adjusting a beamformer parameter(s) based on the selected set of microphones and at least one of the selected frequency subbands. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
摘要:
A method is disclosed that includes receiving a signal having a data vector component and an interfering component and creating a first set of digitized data that represents the interfering component. The method can also generate a polynomial equation based on the first set of digitized data and generate a second set of digitized data that represents a data vector component of the received signal. The polynomial equation can be subtracted from the received signal to cancel at least a portion of the interfering component and provide an interference mitigated signal representing the data vector component. An error in the interference mitigated signal can be determined and the interference mitigated component can be recalculated based on the error. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
摘要:
In some embodiments a method is disclosed for detecting periodic interference and predicting future interference times. The method can include detecting an arrival time of a first occurrence of interference and detecting an arrival time of a second occurrence of interference. The method can include transmitting preemptive interference mitigation control signals that anticipate future arrival times of interference. A system is disclosed that includes a periodicity detector, an interference profiler and a mitigation control module. The system can provide interference mitigation features to a data recovery system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

摘要:
A wideband signal comprising both a wanted signal and narrowband interference is received in a wideband receiver. The receiver comprises an interference detection unit comprising a set of sub-band filters. With the aid of the sub-band filters the received signal is processed to detect a sub-band containing the narrowband interference in time domain.

A method is disclosed for interference mitigation which can include receiving a signal having a data component, an interfering component and a time period and creating a first plurality of digitized data that represents at least a portion of the interfering component. The method can also include generating a polynomial equation that is related to the at least a portion of the interfering component and generating a second plurality of digital data that represents a data vector of the received signal. The method can further subtract the polynomial equation from the received signal to cancel at least a portion of the interfering component to provide an interference mitigated signal representing the data component.
