    摘要: During operation of a node in a secondary communication system (100) data enters a spreader (301) and is appropriately spread. The spread data is then modulated onto all available channels using a multi-carrier OFDM modulation technique. This entails the spread data being modulated onto those channels that are currently being used by the primary communication system (120). Finally, a transmitter (303) transmits the spread data only over carriers that will not interfere with the primary communication system.

    摘要: A method (300) and cognitive radio (CR) wireless device (102) are provided for dynamically accessing spectrum in an opportunistic spectrum access wireless communication system (100). The method includes: transmitting, from a CR wireless device, a signal (216) having a first bandwidth within an unoccupied portion of spectrum (206), and after a time interval (T3) following the transmitting, and upon determining that an adjacent spectral quantum is occupied, transmitting from the CR wireless device a signal (216) having a second bandwidth, the second bandwidth being less than the first bandwidth. The method doubles a rate of growth of bandwidth of a transmitted signal when a spectral quantum adjacent to one side of the signal is unoccupied and a spectral quantum adjacent to the other side of the signal is occupied. The method utilizes knowledge of location of the CR wireless device and of band-edges to intelligently use spectral fence quanta.

    摘要: A technique (300) and apparatus for sharing frequency spectrum amongst cognitive radios, without the use of a centralized control, is provided. By determining open segments of available spectrum within a brokered spectrum (306), and determining costs associated with those available segments (307), a CR device can identify an optimal spectral portion (308) within which to transmit (314) and grow (342) a narrowband signal. The occupied bandwidth growth is monitored such that cost associated with the growth does not exceed a cost threshold (341).

    摘要: A signaling system is provided in which a spread spectrum code is cyclically shifted by a cyclical shift dictated by a bit pattern of one or more bits. The cyclically shifted spread spectrum code is used to modulate a carrier frequency, and transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. At the receiver the signal including the cyclically shifted spectrum code is demodulated to recover the cyclically shifted code. The cyclical shift is then determined and the bit pattern which is associated with the cyclical shift is output. The method can be used in direct sequence spread spectrum communication.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding signals using code position modulation (CPM) in a communication system. The encoding method includes storing an N-chip pseudo-random noise sequence, such as an m-sequence, in a circular shift register and circularly shifting it to obtain a shifted m-sequence. The shifted m-sequence is compared to an m-bit symbol corresponding to the k bit information value. If the shifted m-sequence and the m-symbol match, the shifted m-sequence is output as the N-chip CPM sequence. Alternatively, the m-symbol is used as an initial condition for a pseudo-noise sequence generator. The corresponding decoder stores an N-chip m-sequence in a circular shift register and a correlates shifted version of the m-sequence with a received N-chip CPM sequence. When a peak in the correlation value is detected, an m-bit field is retrieved from the circular shift register and mapped back to a k-bit information value.

    摘要: A method, system, network and device provide Smart Grid Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) detection. One or more symbols or chips present in one or more received radio frequency signals are detected and the presence of one or more erred symbols or chips in the detected one or more symbols present in the received one or more radio frequency signals determined. A correlation in time between the one or more erred symbols or chips and an infrastructure waveform associated with electrical infrastructure can be determined. When the determined correlation indicates the electrical infrastructure as a source of detectable radio frequency interference to a device, a pattern flag is generated. The pattern flag or pattern flag representation can be stored and/or transmitted.

    摘要: A technique for intra-piconet location determination and tomography is described. This technique uses received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values in conjunction with transmitted power levels to determine the relative location of each device within a small network employing frequency hopped spread spectrum transmission. In addition to the location determination properties of the invention, the geometry of the devices in the network, as well as the path loss information between pairs of devices, may be used to infer the location of absorbers and reflectors within the piconet. This absorption and reflection information may be used in creating the piconet tomography. The approach described in this specification may be applied in conjunction with the Bluetooth wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) specification to determine device locations, mitigate the effects of multi-path, and perform indoor location and security functions, and other application functions requiring cost-effective location determination.
