The present disclosure provides a method for fusion and inference with per-hop link quality measurements in frequency hopping satellite communication (SATCOM) systems. The method includes: grouping hops having a same SATCOM link set into one hop group such that the one hop group contains a plurality of same SATCOM link sets; grouping the measurement sets into one or more first measurement groups, based on a link identification; in the each first measurement group having the same link identification, further grouping the measurement sets having a same range of the signal amplitude measurements into one or more second measurement groups; obtaining interference conditions by associating second measurement groups of all links in each hop group based on hop identifications belonging to the second measurement groups.

A method of communicating using a tactical radio in a space vehicle environment. The method includes identifying a relationship between a space vehicle and an area of responsibility. Based on the relationship between the space vehicle and the area of responsibility, the method further includes determining a clock offset. The method further includes applying the clock offset to a system clock. The method further includes using the clock offset applied to the system clock to perform communications between the space vehicle and an entity in the area of responsibility.

A base station for a wireless communications system operating in an unlicensed target band of a wireless medium includes a receiver configured to wirelessly (i) receive non-cooperative carrier data within the target band from a user equipment, and (ii) detect an operation of at least one spread spectrum channel within the target band. The station further includes a transmitter configured to wirelessly send non-cooperative carrier data within the target band to the user equipment, a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and a processor configured to (i) execute the computer-executable instructions, (ii) determine, based on the detection operation of the receiver, at least one sequence of the at least one spread spectrum channel, and (iii) perform at least one corrective action to mitigate interference between the transmitter and an operation of the at least one spread spectrum channel based on the determination of the at least one sequence.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for pairing multiple devices into a designated group for a communication session are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing, via at least a portion of multiple processing devices, information associated with a network in connection with one or more device pairing requests from one or more of the processing devices; implementing, via at least one the multiple processing devices, a pairing algorithm, wherein the pairing algorithm comprises searching for one or more of the processing devices, in accordance with one or more temporal values associated with the at least one processing device and at least one of the one or more device pairing requests corresponding thereto, and one or more pairing parameters; and automatically pairing, via the network and based on the pairing algorithm, the at least one processing device to one or more of the processing devices.

A transceiver of a wireless communication network is configured to transmit and/or receive data [e.g., a telegram] using a hopping pattern, defining a sequence of time instants relative to a periodic time grid, and configured to determine [e.g., generate or calculate] the hopping pattern by determining, using a first and a second determination function, time offsets between time instants of at least a block of time instants of the sequence of time instants and respective grid positions of the periodic time grid, wherein the first determination function specifies that time distances between immediately subsequent/consecutive time instants of the block of time instants are pseudo-randomly distributed between a predefined minimum time distance and a predefined maximum time distance, and the second one specifies that time offsets between the time instants of the block of time instants and the respective grid positions lie within respective time offset ranges around respective grid positions.
