Techniques for planning locations of receiver systems for an environmental sensing capabilities (ESC) system are provided. An ESC system is used to detect activity of primary users in shared spectra. The techniques can be used to reduce dead zone area(s), created by the receiver systems, for radios of secondary systems using the shared frequency spectrum.

Channel availability check optimization may be provided. A plurality of Pulse Repetition Intervals (PRIs) may be determined for a respective plurality of bursts on a respective plurality of frequencies. A list of at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies may be generated. The list may include a plurality of bias factors respectively indicating a probability that each of the respective plurality of bursts was a radar burst based on the respective plurality of PRIs. An Access Point (AP) may perform a plurality of preemptive Channel Availability Checks (CACs) on each of the respective plurality of frequencies on the list in order of highest probability to lowest probability based on the plurality of bias factors.

Systems and methods are provided for optimizing the channel switching process in an access point. Periodic background scanning of a current channel on which a radio is operating to determine channel utilization can be used to generate a ranked channel list from which to select an alternative channel to which the radio can migrate, for example, in the event of a radar signal(s) being detected on its current channel. To maintain connectivity for clients, the clients may be temporarily transitioned to a non-DFS channel while an isolated/dedicated radio chain is used to perform the requisite Channel Availability Check (CAC) assessment on a DFS channel if the radio, based on the ranked channel list, selects a DFS channel as the alternative channel.

Systems and methods are provided for learning radio frequency pulses transmitted at various frequencies in a wireless environment, including false radar signals and actual radar. For example, the system can keep a list of radio frequency pulse characteristics detected by access points (APs) but ignored when not declared a radar. The detected radio frequency pulse can be compared with those on the list and may be added to the deny-list if not radar. The AP learns what intervals are normal for the communication environment and if the noise someday looks like a real radar (but it not actually a radar), it will not be classified as radar because it is on the deny-list.

Systems and methods for adjusting radar transmission parameters based on congestion level measurements are disclosed. In some aspects, a congestion level of radar signals at a location in a vicinity of a radar source may be measured or otherwise determined. In some aspects, a transmission parameter of radar signals configured for transmission to the location by the radar source may be adjusted based on the congestion levels.

The disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and techniques for operating automotive MIMO radars in crowded multi-path environments to obtain reliable detections by linearly predicting whether a bistatic condition occurred. To avoid saturating computing resources processing bistatic detections, the described techniques enable a radar system to quickly identify and discard from the field-of-view radar detections that are likely a result of bistatic conditions. By ignoring unusable radar returns that are likely a result of bistatic conditions, an example radar system can focus on processing radar returns from static conditions, for example, in providing radar-based detections as output to an automotive system that is driving a vehicle in an autonomous or a semi-autonomous mode. In so doing, the example radar system provides a highly accurate static object detector that is sufficiently quick in detecting bistatic conditions for use in vehicle-safety systems as well as autonomous and semi-autonomous control.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a radar enabled device may perform a plurality of listen before talk (LBT) procedures corresponding to a plurality of chirp lengths. The radar enabled device may transmit a particular signal (e.g., a radar signal) based at least in part on a successful result of an LBT procedure of the plurality of LBT procedures. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The invention relates to a method for testing the electromagnetic compatibility of a radar detector with at least one onboard pulse signal transmitter, wherein said radar detector and each onboard transmitter are part of the same platform, by means of eliminating the external echo component in the signals received by the radar detector, said method comprising a training phase allowing the detected pulses to be divided into classes, grouping together the pulses for which at least two characteristics have a common range of values, and a phase of eliminating the pulses that belong to the selected classes.

There is provided an apparatus for generating a jamming signal for deceiving a transmission/reception device. The apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive a signal transmitted from the transmission/reception device and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the received signal is a pulse compression signal. The apparatus further includes a generation unit configured to determine, when the received signal is a pulse compression signal, a deception frequency based on a frequency bandwidth and a pulse width of the received pulse compression signal and generate the jamming signal based on the determined deception frequency.
