Various embodiments relate to a method of determining the presence of a spread spectrum signal, including: receiving N input samples of a signal; performing a first autocorrelation on the N input samples with a first offset; performing a second autocorrelation on the N input samples with a second offset; performing a third autocorrelation on the N input samples with a third offset; performing a fourth autocorrelation on the N input samples with a fourth offset; performing a fifth autocorrelation on the N input samples with a fifth offset; determining if the values of the first, second, and third autocorrelations are decreasing, and determining if the values of the fourth and fifth autocorrelations are less than a threshold value, then determining that a spread spectrum signal is present in the N input samples.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for managing transmit requests among a plurality of co-located transmitting devices each associated with a wireless transmitting protocol. The method comprises the steps of determining the cost associated with each of the transmit requests, wherein the cost is associated with the cost of granting the request and the cost of rejecting the request, granting the request associated with the lowest cost, and rejecting all other requests. In another aspect of the invention, the method comprises the step of determining whether the lowest cost is acceptable and rejecting the request associated with the lowest cost when the lowest cost is unacceptable.

A tamper-proof reference usable as a time reference and an integrated circuit apparatus using the tamper-proof reference to determine an elapsed time are disclosed. The circuit comprises a reference source (200) contained in an integrated package comprising a radioactive material (210), a measurement circuit (220) in contact with the radioactive material (210), the measurement circuit for collecting for a predetermined period radiation generated by the radioactive material (210) and a processor (110) in communication with the reference (200), the processor (110) for initiating a measurement by the reference (200) and for determining an elapsed time based on a plurality of measurements by the reference (200).
