This document discloses a solution for performing anti-jamming procedures. According to an aspect, a method for a terminal device comprises: receiving a first reference signal allocation from an access node, wherein the first reference signal is unique to the terminal device in a cell managed by the access node; receiving a second reference signal allocation from the access node, wherein the second reference signal is shared with at least one other terminal device in the cell; causing transmission of payload data together with the first reference signal according to a regular transmission pattern; and breaking the regular transmission pattern by transmitting dummy data together with the second reference signal in a time-frequency resource shared with the at least one other terminal device.

There is provided a method for a first network element of a wireless communication network, the method comprising: obtaining blanked subcarrier index data indicating one or more blanked subcarriers in a time-frequency resource grid; initiating reception of a transmission from a second network element of the wireless communication network on said time-frequency resource grid; causing performing an interference measurement on said one or more blanked subcarriers to obtain interference measurement data on said one or more blanked subcarriers; and outputting the interference measurement data for detecting a presence of radio jamming.

A method making modifications during a key phase of physical layer security methods and enabling the physical layer security methods to be applicable in a wireless communication is provided. The method includes a step of generating a K common key, including steps to be carried out at a modulator during a data transmission phase.

A multi-user (MU) multiple-input/multiple-output (MU MIMO) module for a fifth-generation (5G) software-defined radio (SDR) network environment is disclosed. In embodiments, the MU MIMO module of a transmitting SDR system of a 5G mobile ad hoc network (MANET) or other peer-to-peer directional network receives feedback from a receiving SDR system based on a prior or current frame and generates, based on the feedback, a compound transmission security (TRANSEC) encryption key for a subsequent frame. The compound TRANSEC encryption key encrypts the transmission of the subsequent frame through a combination of frequency-hopping encryption codes, orthogonality-hopping encryption codes, and dynamic pseudorandom distribution of transmitting power among antenna elements to simulate multipath hopping. The SDR system may include an antenna controller capable of managing dynamic power distribution according to the compound TRANSEC encryption keys as well as directionality shifts and beamforming operations to evade jammers detected within the 5G network environment.

A system is provided where one of a broadband termination unit or a gateway unit is supplied with power by the other one of the broadband termination unit or the gateway unit. Supplying may be done via a universal serial bus cable like a universal serial bus Type-C cable.

A system may include a first radio comprising a first radio processor, a first radio modem, and a first radio transmitter configured to transmit non-hopping transmissions and hopping transmissions. The system may further include a second radio comprising a second radio processor, a second radio modem, and a second radio hopping receiver, wherein the second radio hopping receiver is a non-staring second radio receiver. The first radio may be configured to: receive a message and a destination for the message, the destination being the second radio; upon a determination that the destination has a non-staring receiver, store the message; determine a time interval start time for a cyclical hop pattern associated with the second radio; output the message from the memory to the first radio modem; output the message from the first radio modem to the first radio transmitter; and/or transmit the message to the second radio.

A method for variable length decoding, the method including: receiving, in a default word length mode, at least one first data word having a default first word length; combining the received at least one first data word as a first portion of data; receiving, after the at least one first data word, a transition word indicative of transitioning to a variable word length mode; receiving, after the transition word, a first word length word indicative of a second word length; receiving, after the first word length word, at least one second data word having the second word length; and combining the received at least one second data word as a second portion of the data.

Systems, devices and methods for concealing radio communications and the spatial position of radio transmitters involved therein include the use of electrotechnical signal variation and dynamic, pseudo-random radio identifier. Transmitted radio signals contain radio identifiers identifying the transmitting mobile radio device. Each radio identifier is dynamically selected for each radio signal from a sequence of radio identifiers selected from a set of predefined pseudo-random sequences. The sequence is selected based on a predetermined selection rule. The radio identifier is selected from the thus selected sequence according to a predetermined deterministic update pattern associated with the selected sequence. The associated transmission power and/or transmission frequency is dynamically varied on the transmitter side according to a predetermined deterministic variation scheme.

A method for processing data by an electronic data-acquisition device, requesting to obtain data from an electronic data-providing device. The electronic data-acquisition device and the electronic data-providing device communicate with each other by using a short-range wireless (NFC) communications technology defining a transmission/reception reference frequency. The method includes the following acts performed by the electronic data-acquisition device: determining a frequency of transmission/reception of an interrogation signal that is different from the transmission/reception reference frequency, as a function of a frequency-determining parameter, delivering an interrogation frequency; and after determining the interrogation frequency, transmitting the interrogation signal to the data-providing device at the interrogation frequency.

A method for variable length decoding, the method including: receiving, in a default word length mode, at least one first data word having a default first word length; combining the received at least one first data word as a first portion of data; receiving, after the at least one first data word, a transition word indicative of transitioning to a variable word length mode; receiving, after the transition word, a first word length word indicative of a second word length; receiving, after the first word length word, at least one second data word having the second word length; and combining the received at least one second data word as a second portion of the data.
