摘要:
A system and method for calculating a time of arrival (TOA) of an electromagnetic signal is presented. A method receives a fast Fourier transform (FFT) signal that is a FFT of an original electromagnetic signal containing symbol data. The FFT signal is either multiplied or divided with a value to remove the symbol data. Removing the symbol data generates a perturbed data values representing perturbed signal with a perturbed covariance. The method calculates a perturbed covariance of the perturbed data values. After the perturbed covariance is calculated, the method at least partially corrects the perturbed covariance to produce a corrected covariance. The TOA of the original electromagnetic signal is calculated based, at least in part, on the perturbed covariance.

A desired signal modulated with N symbols is detected in the presence of a constant modulus (CM) interferer that produces M symbols. Observation samples corresponding to the desired signal and the interferer are obtained from a signal recovery stage. N observation constellations are defined, each having M constellation points corresponding to the symbols produced by the interferer, and the points form a circular perimeter of the constellation with a radius corresponding to the strength of the interferer. The perimeter of each constellation is centered on one of N defined symbol points representing the different possible symbols of the desired signal. Distances between the observation samples and the circular perimeter of each observation constellation are determined. For each observation sample, the symbol point on which the constellation perimeter closest to the sample is centered, is selected as a symbol of the desired signal.

A system and method for converting a non-cognitive radio into a cognitive radio is presented. A cognitive radio system includes, a non-cognitive radio; an electronic device, a spectrum sensing logic and configuration and management logic. The electronic device is connected to the non-cognitive radio so that it receives and/or transmits messages to/from a wireless network. The configuration and management logic is connected between the non-cognitive radio and the spectrum sensing logic. The spectrum sensing logic and the configuration and management logic are removable from the non-cognitive radio allowing the cognitive radio to operate in a non-cognitive mode. The spectrum sensing logic senses a wireless environment to determine available frequencies and available channels. The configuration and management logic transmits available frequencies, available channels or other spectrum data to a remote spectrum manager that is managing access to the wireless network.

Methods, devices and systems for WLAN communication are described. Intercell interference between overlapping WLAN cells is mitigated by a combination of frequency reuse, code division and time resource negotiation. Information used for time resource negotiation can be broadcast via beacon signal or communicated via a wireline backbone system which interconnects access points.

A method provides for trunk group satellite switching using a code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme. The method includes receiving inbound satellite beams carrying individually encoded user signals including a plurality of inbound trunk groups, processing and mapping the trunk group elements to a plurality of outbound trunk groups, routing the outbound trunk groups to appropriate outbound satellite beams and transmitting the outbound beams based on common destination parameters. The trunk group switching allows for a reduction of on-board switching complexity, volume, and costs.

A method for optimally serving Stations (STA) on Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) using a Controlled Contention/Resource Reservation protocol of the IEEE 802.11e standard. The Wireless LAN includes multiple STAs, mobile or Stationary, airlinked to an access point as a Basic Service Set (BSS). A Hybrid Coordinator (HC) is co-located with the access point for allocating the bandwidth for the BSS using a Controlled Contention/Resource Reservation protocol defined in the IEEE Standard 802.11(e). The HC transmits Contention Control (CC) frames and initiates Controlled Contention Intervals (CCI) having a selected number of slotted intervals. HC receives Resource Reservations (RR) detailing bandwidth needs from STA contenders during a specified time interval called the Controlled Contention Interval (CCI.). Several parameters are installed in each CC for contention control purpose. The several parameters are controlled to optimize efficient use of the wireless medium and reduce access delays for RR frames contending for the wireless medium.

An architecture for facilitating wavelength-specific and packet-switched routing comprises a primary metropolitan fiber ring, a primary distribution/aggregation node in the primary metropolitan fiber ring and a local service domain further comprising a secondary aggregation node in communication with the primary distribution/aggregation node. A network to provide local metropolitan switching and routing and broadband local access distribution described in terms of its component layers comprises a distribution/aggregation routing layer that interfaces with a primary fiber metropolitan ring and a local customer primary distribution/aggregation node via transport branches of a mesh architecture, a local distribution and routing layer that routes specific wavelengths and newly assigned wavelengths to and from a customer's premises and a cross-connect layer that handles customer specific wavelength and packet routing via one of fiber, millimeter wave radio and free space optical communications.

An 802.11 source station transmits a signal with the duration field other than that required for the transmission to prevent transmission by other stations during known sequences. Thus, the source station uses the duration field to spoof the actual time the medium will be occupied, to stations within range of the signal. A station within range of the transmitted signal will check the duration field of the transmitted signal, and update the station's network allocation vector. Thus, the station will not transmit because the station's network allocation vector indicates that the medium is in use, even though the station maybe unable to hear the carrier. Accordingly, spoofed stations may, for example, 1) delay transmission until a more critical transmission has completed, 2) allow unknown or foreign protocol to have preferential use of the medium, 3) prevent interference from hidden stations, and 4) allow sharing of the medium by overlapping basic service sets.
摘要:
In an environment of competing satellite systems having in part shared bands/channel frequencies and at least one system having non-interfering dedicated bands/channels, interference between shared bands/channels of the two systems is mitigated by a method as recited in the appended claims, interference probabilities are determined and based on these probabilities and interference criteria to be met. Interference is minimized by making initial channel assignments to dedicated channels and assigning shared channels in accordance with traffic controls and limits are developed so as not to violate the interference criteria.
