A heart generated signal is provided by a heart sensor of a mobile device to an analog to digital (A/D) converter for A/D converting the sensor provided signal. The A/D converted heart signal is processed to provide heart rate. The heart rate is recorded or stored in the mobile device or is transmitted in a wireless communication system. The mobile device receives sensor provided Electro Cardiogram (ECG) signal. The ECG signal is stored or is provided to an interface unit. The mobile device has transceivers for receiving and transmitting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signals and for modulating and transmitting spread spectrum baseband signals. The spread spectrum baseband signals have cross-correlated in-phase and quadrature-phase filtered baseband signals.

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.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE may use different modulation schemes, or different modulators, for a single data stream. The set of modulators may be based on a linear combination of a function of encoded bits to be transmitted. In some cases, the UE may use a different permutation or interleaving of the function of bits with the same linear function to generate a different set of modulators. The UE may use a combination of any one or more of the described techniques for generating a set of modulators. Different modulators may be cyclically repeated over time. The UE may apply a device-specific scrambling sequence and transmit the modulated symbols on an uplink channel. The base station may use matched filters and an element-wise estimator (ESE) to compute log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) for each bit of each UE in a received signal.

Binary forward error correcting (FEC) encoding is applied to a stream of input bits, to generate a stream of coded bits. The coded bits are mapped to multiple binary streams. In some embodiments, at least one coded bit is mapped to more than one of the binary streams and none of the binary streams are identical to each other. Stream-specific modulations are applied to the binary streams. Non-binary FEC encoding could be applied after the stream-specific modulations.

An imaging system that utilizes deterministic bit sequences modulated onto an in-phase component of a carrier frequency and continuously transmitted via a transducer and received for imaging a medium and/or environment is provided. The received signal is demodulated by an in-phase demodulator and a quadrature demodulator and the demodulated components are processed to provide a spatial mapping of a medium or environment being imaged.

A System-on-a-Chip (SoC) for receiving telemetry messages over a radio-frequency (RF) channel is provided. The SoC comprises at least one RF module; at least one module for conversion of the signal from an analog form to a digital form; at least one input signal digital processing unit for filtering the signal from the RF module; and at least one memory unit. The SoC also comprises at least one processor for executing time shifting and frequency shifting of the signal. The processor is configured to process each time- and frequency-shifted signal by consecutive Fourier transforms, such that a first time element of each next transform is placed immediately after a last element of a previous transform. The processor is also configured to receive the signal, which signal was subjected to a carrier frequency change during transmission thereof, the signal having transmission frequencies that are within at least two processed spectrum sections.
