摘要:
An apparatus, a method, and logic encoded in computer readable media that when executed operable to carry out the method. The method includes wirelessly receiving at a receiving station a signal transmitted from a transmitting station in a wireless network. The signal includes a network identifier, e.g., MAC address of the transmitting station. The method includes determining one or more RF waveform characteristics of at least a transient part of the received signal, decoding the received signal to determine the network identifier, e.g., MAC address, determining one or more behavior characteristics from the received signal; and using the decoded network identifier, e.g., MAC address and a combination of the one or more waveform characteristics and the one or more behavior characteristics to ascertain whether or not the network identifier, e.g., MAC address is a spoofed identifier, the ascertaining using historical samples of combinations for different network identifiers.

摘要:
A device whose location is to be determined (target device) generates a plurality of frames (messages) and time of departure (TOD) timestamp information indicating when the target device transmits the plurality of frames in a sequence or burst. The target device transmits the plurality of frames and the TOD information, wherein the plurality of frames are transmitted such that at least two of the frames are on different radio frequency (RF) channels. Within a sequence or burst (or across multiple sequences or bursts), multiple widely spaced transmissions on the same channel are included to allow for estimation of the crystal frequency offset of the transmitting device. The TOD information included in the transmitted packets allows devices that receive the packets not to change their channels of operation solely for the purpose of receiving packets from the device to be located.

摘要:
Techniques are provided to measure how fast a wireless channel is changing between a first wireless communication device (e.g., a wireless base station or access point) and a second wireless device (e.g., a wireless client device) based on signals that the first communication wireless device receives at a plurality of antennas from a second wireless communication device. Techniques are also provided to measure a degree of mobility of the second wireless communication device based on signals received at the first communication wireless device from the second communication wireless device.
摘要:
Enhanced stomp-and-restart techniques are provided. At a plurality of antennas of a wireless communication device, energy is received in a channel in which one or more frames may be transmitted to the wireless communication device from any one of a plurality of other wireless communication devices. A first frame is acquired from the received energy. Channel state information is computed for the first frame and the channel state information associated with the first frame is stored. Interference suppression parameters are computed for the first frame from the channel state information. It is determined whether a stronger second frame is being received by the wireless communication device. The received energy associated with the first frame is nulled-out using the interference suppression parameters when the stronger second frame is determined to be received so that start-of-packet processing and decoding is performed on the stronger second frame.
摘要:
A mid-packet detection technique is provided that detects a packet with periodic repetitions of a fixed duration at a point in time of the packet other than a start-of-packet pattern, e.g., a preamble, associated with the packet. The process performs packet detection without detecting a preamble and does not require carrier frequency recovery, timing recovery (synchronization) or channel estimation. In one embodiment, a doubly differential matched filter autocorrelation of the received signal is computed and used as a metric for packet detection when the preamble is not observed or to complement preamble detection. The metric is compared to a threshold to indicate detection of a packet.
摘要:
Interference in an unlicensed frequency band is spatially filtered out from received signals at a wireless device operating in the unlicensed frequency band. Energy received at a plurality of antennas of the wireless is device is analyzed to detect interference in the unlicensed frequency band. The detected interference is classified by type. Parameters for a nulling filter are generated or selected based on the type of interference detected in the received energy. During a time interval when it is expected to receive desired signals, the nulling filter is applied using the parameters to signals obtained from energy received at the plurality of antennas during the time interval.
摘要:
Techniques are provided to derive the spatial expansion matrix used when one wireless communication device sends a transmission with a number of spatial streams less than the number of its transmit antennas to another wireless communication device. These techniques involve, at the receiving wireless communication device, generating channel estimate information for received transmissions sent with different numbers of spatial streams and to determine when sufficient information is available to estimate a spatial expansion matrix for different spatial expansion scenarios.
