Abstract: An improved technique for detecting the presence or absence of one or more predetermined signals in a shared spectrum. In accordance with the disclosed embodiments, a received RF signal may be down-converted to a baseband signal, which is subsequently processed by a spectrum sensor to detect the presence or absence of a predetermined signal, such as a predetermined radar signal. The spectrum sensor may transform the baseband signal to the frequency domain, for example using a fast Fourier transform, to generate a corresponding set of frequency components. The spectrum sensor multiplies the frequency components of the baseband signal with the frequency response of a matched filter having a set of coefficients corresponding to the predetermined signal. The spectrum sensor may convert the matched-filter output signal to the time domain, for example using an inverse fast Fourier transform, and then may determine a value indicative of the signal power that it compares with a known threshold value. The spectrum sensor may determine the presence or absence of the predetermined signal in the received RF signal based on the result of the comparison, and may use the results of its determination to cause the reconfiguration of a transmitter that may be used to transmit RF signals in the same shared spectrum as the received RF signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a connectivity map to a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network are disclosed. Exemplary methods comprise receiving a request for connectivity information from the UE, sending the request for connectivity information to a connectivity map service application program interface (API), receiving, from the connectivity map service API, a connectivity map, and sending the connectivity map to the UE in response to the request for connectivity information. The connectivity map may be generated using a location and state information associated with one or more nearby APs stored in a database and may comprise a list of available spectrum and one or more parameters associated with each available spectrum. The connectivity map may be used to select at least one of a network, a data-path, a network route, a connectivity strategy, or a spectrum for the UE.
