摘要： A communication network may be uncooperative with an uncooperative communications device. The communication network includes mobile wireless communications devices including a collection device and forward devices. Each forward device is configured to detect a received signal characteristic associated with the uncooperative communications device, and transmit the received signal characteristic to the collection device. The collection device is configured to selectively schedule reception of the received signal characteristic based upon a timing of communications among the forward devices, and determine a parameter associated with the uncooperative communications device based upon the received signal characteristic.

摘要： A method to facilitate late entry of a late entrant node into an ad-hoc radio network involves accessing from a memory at the late entrant node an initial frequency hopping sequence for the ad-hoc radio network. The late entrant node uses at least the initial frequency hopping sequence to determine a first frequency to monitor during a communication epoch corresponding to one of the frequency hops. The late entrant node thereafter monitors the first frequency to detect the presence of a beacon signal transmitted by a participating node of the network. Subsequently, the late entrant node determines a second frequency included in the current hopping sequence of the network based on information contained in the beacon signal.

摘要： Dynamic spectral assignment in an ad hoc network of wireless network nodes (200) includes determining (306) a set of allowed frequencies that can be used by the ad hoc network and a corresponding index value for each of the allowed frequencies. An allowed list is created (308) and comprised of the index values (312) arranged in a deterministic order. A pointer (604) into the allowed list (600) is determined for each one of a total of Nhop frequency hops of a hopping sequence. Each pointer specifies one of the allowed frequencies (601) to be used for a corresponding one of the frequency hops. A wireless frequency hopping communication session is performed among a plurality of the nodes in the ad hoc network, using a frequency for each hop of the hopping sequence as specified by the pointers (604).

摘要： A symbol epoch tracking circuit and method for a Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) receiver. A phase tracking circuit performs carrier phase tracking with little extra computation for a Viterbi decoder and has an excellent tracking performance. The symbol epoch tracking circuit is implemented in a CPM receiver, and could also be implemented as a software defined process for use in any CPM demodulator employing a Viterbi algorithm for accurate data detection.

摘要： A tracking apparatus identifies distorted output signals from a digital system caused by at least one distorted signal input to the digital system. A first signal is input to the tracking apparatus when a distorted signal is input to the digital system. A second signal is input to the tracking apparatus when a non-distorted signal is input to the digital system. The tracking apparatus models a delay and widening characteristics of the digital system and operates in parallel with the digital system.
