Abstract: A circuit includes a first wireless radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a time-of-flight estimator included with or coupled to the first wireless RF transceiver. The time-of-flight estimator estimates a time-of-flight between the first wireless RF transceiver and a second wireless RF transceiver using: a first interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the second wireless RF transceiver received the message and when the second wireless RF transceiver transmitted the response; a first error value that indicates an offset between when the second wireless RF transceiver sampled the message and a target sampling point for the message; a second interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the TX chain sent the message and when the RX chain received the response; and a second error value that indicates an offset between when the RX chain sampled the response and a target sampling point for the response.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to root zone moisture estimation for vegetation cover using remote sensing. Conventionally, it is challenging to estimate root zone soil moisture using only satellite data. Moreover, estimation of soil moisture under vegetation cover based on bare surface soil moisture and vegetation parameters is not available. The disclosed method and system facilitate estimation of an ensemble of soil moisture under vegetation cover and root zone soil moisture using process based soil water balance for spatial estimation of root zone soil moisture. The system estimates bare surface soil moisture for different soil types/textures using the baseline bare surface model and soil properties derived from satellite data and in-situ sensors. The method further provides temporal spatially distributed soil moisture inputs to an intelligent irrigation management/information system which is very important to reduce and regulate water consumption.

Abstract: A method for detecting spoofing comprises monitoring GNSS satellite signals with a GNSS receiver; obtaining current time, current orbital information values, Doppler shift, and/or dilution of precision from the GNSS receiver, with the current orbital information values comprising orbital position with respect to a current position of the GNSS receiver; retrieving past orbital information values comprising orbital position, and calculating predicted orbital information values based on the past orbital information values, with respect to the current time from the receiver, with the predicted orbital information values comprising orbital position with respect to the current position of the receiver. The method compares the predicted orbital information values, Doppler shift, and/or dilution of precision, with the current orbital information values to obtain discriminator values; determines whether the discriminator values are greater than threshold levels; and outputs a spoofing alert signal when the discriminator values are greater than the threshold levels.

Abstract: A method for checking the integrity of the point positioning process obtained by determining the closest position, based on the adapted filtering of received GNSS signals, of a set of georeferenced reference positions for implementation on a mobile or fixed carrier, the method making it possible to check that the correlation function of the received GNSS signals is consistent with the selected reference position. The method for checking the integrity of the nearest location comprises: a first step for pre-selecting satellite signals suitable for the position integrity test, based on the minimum signal-to-noise ratio of the point correlation channel, a second step to exclude satellite signals that are not compatible with the predicted code phases, based on the absence of a Maximum At Center (MAC) of the early-punctual-late correlation points and meeting the non-integrity, non-continuity and alarm delay risks required for positioning system security, at least one maximum likelihood search step on the set of reference positions obtained by cumulating the elementary powers of the various selected satellites.

Abstract: Vehicles in traffic cannot coordinate their actions properly in 5G and 6G without knowing the location and the wireless address of the other vehicle. GNSS signals are generally too slow and too imprecise to discern vehicles in, for example, adjacent lanes. Directional wireless beams are subject to reflections from conducting surfaces, producing chaotic signals and false locations if more than one vehicle is within the transmission beam. To provide precise localization in traffic, methods are disclosed for multiple vehicles (or other mobile devices) to acquire satellite signals simultaneously, and then analyze the data differentially, thereby canceling major uncertainties (such as propagation variations, ephemeris motion, and clock jitter), and thereby determining the relative positions precisely. Unlike prior-art “precision” positioning methods, the disclosed methods do not require averaging multiple acquisitions. On the contrary, examples show how high differential precision can be obtained without averaging, using measurements acquired at the predetermined time.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for secure communication over multiple secure paths through an intelligent and dynamic gateway capable of receiving and processing communications received from multiple paths, protocols, physical spectrums, or sources and processing such inputs using software (e.g., middleware or one or more virtual machines (VMs)) to generate wide area network (WAN) output that can, in turn, be transmitted to multiple paths, irrespective of protocol, physical spectrum, or destinations. As such, the current gateway can be configured to be agnostic to the nature of input or output technologies and manage the conversion of data for ubiquitous telecommunications management.
