A method for handling a jamming signal in a wireless network includes obtaining network measurement data collected by a wireless network element. A first performance information relating to a Key Performance Indicator, data collected during a quiet time, or a report on a bogus Physical Random Access Channel signal, or a combination thereof, is selected from the network measurement data. The first performance information is examined with respect to a first reference information. An action is initiated if the examination of the first performance information indicates the presence of a potential jamming signal.

Methods, systems, and devices for channelizing and beamforming a wideband waveform are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for transmitting and receiving wideband waveforms that are beamformed on a per-channel basis during generation of the wideband waveforms. A transmitter may separate a first wideband signal into segments, with each segment bandwidth corresponding to a channel of the system bandwidth, and may map the segments to channels. The segments may be replicated to generate multiple copies of each segment. The transmitter may beamform and combine the copies of the segments to generate multiple wideband waveforms, and transmit each wideband waveform using a different antenna. A receiver may receive multiple wideband waveforms using multiple antennas and may separate each wideband waveform into segments, then beamform and de-map the segments. The techniques may be used to transmit and receive beamformed wideband waveforms over tactical data links.

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.

A method comprising determining that interference may occur in a wireless network an apparatus is connected to, obtaining a first link that is of a first type, obtaining a second link that is of a second type, determining data to be transmitted from the apparatus to another apparatus connected to the wireless network, determining that a transmission occurs in the first link and transmitting the data in the second link, wherein the transmission in the first link has a longer duration than transmitting the data in the second link and the transmission in the first link and transmitting the data in the second link overlap in time.

In order to avoid various jamming attacks from intelligent jammers in modern complex wireless environments, a system and method is presented for a user radio to generate and implement an adaptive anti-jamming communication strategy. The said adaptive anti-jamming communication strategy is obtained via the training process for a specific neural network using Deep Double-Q Reinforcement learning algorithm in the strategy generation phase. The objective of this process is to discover a strategy to select the optimal radio action including transmission channel and transmission power for the user radio, which is changed adaptively to different jamming patterns to maximize the successful transmission rate (“jamming-free”) while retaining the power consumption of user radio as low as possible. In the strategy implementation phase, the user radio chooses an appropriate radio action based on output of trained neural network after the training process; thus, achieves robust and efficient communications against diverse complex jamming scenarios.

A radio wave state analysis method acquires a radio wave for a place at which an audio system is sited, where the audio system includes one or more receiving devices for wireless reception of an audio signal; and generates relationship information indicative of a relationship between condition information and radio wave information indicative of the radio wave state, where the condition information includes at least one of time information indicative of a time when the radio wave state is measured or position information indicative of a position of the audio system.

Methods, systems, and devices for channelizing a wideband waveform for transmission on a spectral band comprising unavailable channel segments are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for transmitting and receiving wideband waveforms when channels of a system bandwidth are unavailable for transmission. A transmitter may separate a first wideband signal into segments, with each segment a bandwidth corresponding to a channel of the system bandwidth, and may map the segments to the available channels. The transmitter may combine the mapped segments into a second wideband waveform and transmit the second wideband waveform using the available channels. A receiver may receive a first wideband signal waveform and may separate the first wideband signal waveform into segments, de-map the segments and combine the de-mapped segments into a second wideband waveform for demodulation. The techniques may be used to transmit and receive wideband waveforms over tactical data links.

According to one embodiment, a radar apparatus includes a signal processing device that has a first circuit, a second circuit and a transmitter. The first circuit is configured to determine whether or not there is a radio interference based on a radio signal received via an antenna. The second circuit is configured to, when the first circuit determines that there is the radio interference, select a predetermined pulse pattern based on an avoiding function of a wireless communication device having the avoiding function of the radio interference, the predetermined pulse pattern being separately defined from a pulse pattern of transmission processing for operating a radar. The transmitter is configured to transmit from the antenna a radio signal matching the pulse pattern selected by the second circuit.

A method, a node and a detector for detecting an interfering signal in a wireless network communication system comprising a network manager and several nodes, each node (202B) comprising a detector (204) for receiving input signals from at least one antenna, a delay component (205) for delaying a received input signal, and a receiver (206RX) for determining an energy pattern of expected received input signals. The detector (204) is configured to send an alarm signal to the receiver (206RX) depending on the presence or absence of an interfering signal from an interferer 203 and an active/inactive state of the receiver (206RX).

Disclosed are some examples of techniques for ranging and positioning of distributed devices to avoid local and/or periodic interference. For example, an initiator user equipment (UE) can broadcast a positioning reference signal (PRS) message of a current positioning session to responder UEs. One or more characteristics of PRS transmission associated with a first responder UE in the current positioning session can be determined. Based on the characteristic(s), interference with the first responder UE can be identified, which can cause the initiator UE to change the broadcast order of the responder UEs for a next positioning session.
