Systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating the presence of a drone are provided herein. In one aspect, a system for detecting presence of a one or more drones includes a radio-frequency (RF) receiver configured to receive an RF signal transmitted between a drone and a controller. The system can further include a processor and a computer-readable memory in communication with the processor and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the at least one processor to receive a set of samples from the RF receiver for a time interval, the set of samples comprising samples of the first RF signal, obtain a parameter model of the first frequency hopping parameters, and fit the parameter model to the set of samples.

There is provided a fast paging procedure in which a master device repeatedly sends the paging message to a slave device using predetermined channel frequencies, wherein a selection of the predetermined channel frequencies is not calculated or predicted from the slave's Bluetooth device address. When the master device receives a slave page response message at one frequency among the predetermined channel frequencies, the master device transmits an FHS packet to the slave device at the same frequency in which the slave page response message was received.

An electronic device that communicates with a second electronic device using adaptive frequency hopping across different spectral bands is described. An integrated circuit in the electronic device includes processing logic that determines an adaptive spectral map that specifies channels across multiple spectral bands. During communication with a second electronic device that includes a second integrated circuit using a communication protocol (such as Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy), the integrated circuit selects channels in the adaptive spectral map, where selection can be based on a predefined frequency-hopping sequence.

A network includes at least one node to communicate with at least one other node via a wireless network protocol. The node includes a network configuration module to periodically switch a current node function of the node between an intermediate node function and a leaf node function. The switch of the current node function enables automatic reconfiguration of the wireless network based on detected communications between the at least one node and at least one intermediate node or at least one leaf node via the wireless network protocol.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may identify a transmission mode for transmission of an input signal to be transmitted. The input signal may thus be modulated according to the identified transmission mode, and the modulated signal may then be transmitted at some power level to produce a transmitted signal having a spectral envelope. In some cases, the spectral envelope may be defined in terms of a power spectral density (PSD) of the transmitted waveform. The PSD may generally define the power of the waveform signal distributed over frequencies of the waveform. Further, the wireless device may control the modulation of the input signal, in addition to the power level of the input signal, to maintain the spectral envelope to be within a spectral mask defined for the implemented transmission mode as well as to conform to spectral flatness parameters.

A system and method for determining a direction of arrival of an incoming signal is disclosed. The present system utilizes a plurality of pseudo-spectrums to create a more accurate result matrix. The pseudo-spectrums are one or two dimensional arrays, where peaks in the arrays are indicative of the angle of arrival. A result matrix is generated by performing a mathematical operation of corresponding elements in each pseudo-spectrum. This mathematical operation may be addition or multiplication. The result matrix provides a more accurate indication of the angle of arrival than can otherwise by achieved. In some embodiments, a measure of quality may also be calculated for the result matrix.

A network includes at least one node to communicate with at least one other node via a wireless network protocol. The node includes a network configuration module to periodically switch a current node function of the node between an intermediate node function and a leaf node function. The switch of the current node function enables automatic reconfiguration of the wireless network based on detected communications between the at least one node and at least one intermediate node or at least one leaf node via the wireless network protocol.

Described techniques provide for transmission of synchronization signals using frequency hopping across a number of hopping frequencies in unlicensed or shared radio frequency spectrum. A base station may identify a set of hop frequencies for transmitting synchronization signals, and transmit synchronization signals using a hopping pattern over the hop frequencies. A user equipment (UE) seeking to identify the base station may monitor one or more of the hop frequencies to identify one or more synchronization signals on the hop frequency. A system timing may be identified in some cases, and one or more base station IDs may be identified. In some cases, a hop frequency may be monitored for a duration that may span the transmission of two or more synchronization signals of a particular base station, based on a periodicity of synchronization signal transmissions on each hop frequency.
