Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which radio units (RUs), distributed units (DUs), or combinations thereof, may have a single hardware configuration that may be configured to implement different functions for radio frequency (RF) and baseband processing at a base station. A desired functionality for a RU or DU may be identified, and the RU or DU may be configured to implement the functionality through run-time configuration or boot images to implement a particular set of functions that may be needed for a particular cell or deployment. A RU or DU may be reconfigured following an initial configuration to perform different functions following the reconfiguration.

A method and system of transmitting data. The method comprises receiving data, in a memory of the server computing device, from an asset tracker device; determining, in a processor of the server computing device, one or more weighting factors representing a respective priority associated with one or more of a latency, a cost, a power utilization and a throughput associated with transmission of the data for each of a plurality of communication channels; and selecting, from the plurality of communication channels, a communication channel for transmission of the data based at least in part on the one or more weighting factors and a transmission schedule for the data.

Capturing, extracting and storing narrowband IQ data for later processing enables timely and efficient analysis. As wideband capture of RF information includes noise and non-signal elements, the present invention detects, extracts and stores narrowband IQ signals for later assessment. By transforming a high-volume data stream to a collection of smaller narrowband signals with greatly reduced storage and on-board processing requirements the present invention facilitates the capability to analyze signals of interest in an otherwise denied environment.

Method for processing a sequence of digital signal samples comprising a first sub-sequence and a second sub-sequence, said method comprising: forming (106) a first block of samples comprising the first sub-sequence and a second block of samples comprising header samples followed by the second sub-sequence; demodulating (108) the first block of samples through a digital demodulator to produce a first block of symbols, and the second block of digital signal samples through a second digital demodulator to produce a second block of symbols, the second demodulator implementing a carrier synchronisation or symbol rate synchronisation starting with the header samples (E6-E9), which comprise samples in a number adapted in such a way that the synchronisation is effective before the second demodulator demodulates the second sub-sequence; and reconstructing (114) a sequence of symbols by concatenating the first symbol block with the second symbol block.

Unauthorized operation of a UAV may present privacy or security risks. A software-defined radio (SDR) or other receiver can be used to monitor a specified range of frequencies to provide detection of wireless communication signals suspected of relating to UAV operation. A protocol detector corresponding to a trained classifier can be applied to data packets demodulated by the SDR. A transmitter can then be triggered to provide warnings by injecting warning data into a video channel in response to the detected protocol. Control of the UAV can be established by transmitting simulated control commands that overwhelm the signals received from the UAVs normal remote control. If transmission of warnings or simulated control signals fail to suppress unwanted UAV operation, other actions can be triggered such as jamming or dispatch of an interceptor such as a surveillance UAV.

A system may include a node. The node may include a first software-defined radio (SDR) configured to support transmit and receive communications using a beyond line of sight (BLOS) waveform. The node may include a second SDR to support transmit and receive communications using a line of sight waveform while simultaneously being configured to support receive communications using a narrowband (NB) ultra high frequency (UHF) satellite communication (SATCOM) waveform. The node may include a SATCOM antenna configured to transmit and receive the communications using the BLOS waveform and to receive the communications using the NB UHF SATCOM waveform. The node may include a low noise amplifier (LNA) and triplexer assembly. The first and second SDRs may share the SATCOM antenna and the LNA and triplexer assembly.

A flexible channel bandwidth for mobile radio communications is provided by provisioning a set of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers for mobile radio communications; encoding data symbols with polyphase codes derived from a discrete Fourier transform to produce encoded data symbols; and modulating the encoded data symbols onto the OFDM subcarriers to produce a superposition signal that resembles a single-carrier signal and has one of a plurality of different symbol durations. The provisioning comprises selecting one of a plurality of different selectable subcarrier spacings, to provide for the one of the plurality of different symbol durations.
