Methods and apparatus to validate data communicated by a vehicle
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to validate data communicated by a vehicle. An example apparatus an anomaly detector to, in response to data communicated by a vehicle, at least one of compare an estimated speed with a reported speed or compare a location of the vehicle with a reported location. The apparatus including the anomaly detector further to generate an indication of the vehicle in response to the comparison. The apparatus further includes a notifier to discard data sent by the vehicle and notify surrounding vehicles of the data communicated by the vehicle.
SATELLITE AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) FOR DETERMINING POTENTIAL SPOOFING MARITIME VESSELS BASED UPON ACTUAL FREQUENCY OF ARRIVAL OF AIS MESSAGES AND RELATED METHODS
An Automatic Identification System (AIS) for tracking a plurality of maritime vessels may include a ground AIS server and a constellation of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites in communication with the ground AIS server. Each LEO satellite may include an AIS payload configured to receive AIS messages from the plurality of maritime vessels and determine therefrom reported vessel position data, determine an actual frequency of arrival (FOA) for each of the AIS messages, determine an expected FOA for each of the AIS messages based upon the reported vessel position data for each AIS message, determine a potential spoofing maritime vessel based upon a difference between a corresponding expected FOA and actual FOA for a given AIS message, and send a potential spoof alert to the ground AIS server.
RF-SENSING-BASED HUMAN IDENTIFICATION USING COMBINED GAIT AND SHAPE RECOGNITION
In some implementations, a method may comprise obtaining channel state information (CSI) data corresponding to a set of RF signals received by one or more receiving devices, wherein: the set RF signals comprises two or more reflected RF signals successively received by the one or more receiving devices after being reflected from a person, and the two or more reflected RF signals are received by the one or more receiving devices over a period of time. The method may further comprise determining an identity of the person based at least in part on an observed gait of the person and an observed shape of the person, wherein the observed gait of the person and the observed shape of the person are determined based at least in part on the CSI data. The method may further comprise outputting an indication of the determined identity of the person.
MOBILE-BASED POSITIONING USING ASSISTANCE DATA PROVIDED BY ONBOARD MICRO-BSA
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for classifying traffic flow using a plurality of learning machines arranged in multiple hierarchical levels. A first learning machine may classify a first portion of the input stream as malicious based on a match with first classification rules, and a second learning machine may classify at least part of the first portion of the input stream as malicious based on a match with second classification rules. The at least part of the first portion of the input stream may be classified as malicious based on the matches in the first and second learning machines.
Control system for controlling a projectile
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a control system for controlling a projectile, the control system comprising: a plurality of transmitters, wherein each transmitter of the plurality of transmitters is arranged to transmit an electromagnetic wave from a transmission position; a receiver associated with the projectile, the receiver being arranged to receive a plurality of electromagnetic waves transmitted from the plurality of transmitters; a controller associated with the projectile, the controller being arranged to: determine at least one of a position, a velocity or an acceleration of the projectile from transmission positions of the plurality of transmitters and Doppler measurements derived from the received plurality of electromagnetic waves; and generate a control signal for performing an action with the projectile depending on the determined at least one of position, velocity or acceleration of the projectile.
Geolocation of radio frequency devices using spaceborne phased arrays
A communication system has a phased antenna array configured to communicate via a plurality of beams with a wireless device, such as user equipment (e.g., a smart phone). The plurality of beams define a field of view of the phased antenna array, the field of view having a plurality of cells and each of the plurality of beams is associated with one of the plurality of cells within the field of view. A processing device detects the wireless device within the field of view and determines a coarse geographic location of the wireless device within the field of view of the wireless device when the wireless device is within the field of view, or within a cell. The system further determines a fine geographic location for the wireless device based on frequency offset (due to Doppler) and signal flight time.
Additional feedback for location detection of device-free objects using wireless communication signals
Disclosed are techniques for wireless sensing. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) measures at least a line-of-sight (LOS) path and a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) path of a first downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) from a first transmission-reception point (TRP), measures at least an LOS path and an NLOS path of a second DL-PRS from a second TRP, measures at least an LOS path and an NLOS path of a third DL-PRS from a third TRP, and enables a location of a non-participating target object to be determined based, at least in part, on reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurements between a time of arrival (ToA) of the LOS path of the first DL-PRS and the ToAs of the NLOS paths of the first, second, and third DL-PRS. In an aspect, the non-participating target object does not participate in determining its own location.
UWB RANGING METHOD, UWB RANGING DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An Ultra Wide Band (UWB) ranging method, a UWB ranging device, and a non-transitory storage medium thereof are provided. The UWB ranging method includes: filtering, in response to determining a first time of flight for UWB ranging, the first time of flight based on a low-pass filter to obtain a filtered first time of flight; and performing the UWB ranging based on the filtered first time of flight.
MEASUREMENT AND SIGNALING FOR ENABLING POSITION DETERMINATION IN NETWORKS INCLUDING NON-TERRESTRIAL COMPONENTS
