  • Patent number: 10620241
    Abstract: A packet intercept system includes probes along the field area network. A portion of the probes are mobile probes configured to receive and process a global positioning system signal. Intercepting by the mobile probes includes implementing a global positioning tag in each packet in the traffic data stream intercepted by the mobile probes, the global positioning tag includes a timestamp and global positioning system coordinates, derived from the global position system signal. The packet intercept system backhauls the traffic data stream to an additional network that is distinct from the field area network. Processors on the additional network obtain the traffic data stream and process the stream into a live traffic data stream by ordering each packet intercepted by the mobile probes in the processed live traffic data stream, based on the timestamp. The processors analyze the processed live traffic data stream.

  • Patent number: 8798546
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods of simultaneous transmission and reception in a single-antenna radio transceiver. The transceiver may be used, for instance, for communication between at least two terminals, by use of multiple intermediate recruited transceiver nodes. The recruited transceiver nodes receive a signal from a master mode, and then retransmit the signal to a receiver. The recruited transceiver nodes are designed to have reduced interference between the transmit channel and the received channel. In accordance with one aspect of the present application, embodiments can achieve more robust wireless communication between a transmitter and an over-the-horizon receiver. The robust wireless communication will have improved resistance to interference, including self-interference, and improved communication range.

  • Patent number: 7359730
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for reducing interference associated with wireless communication in an area having sensitive electronic equipment. A wireless communications device receives, from an access point, a signal having a signal strength above a predetermined threshold. The wireless communications device determines a transmission power level maximum based on the received signal and then transmits a signal to the access point at a transmission power level at or below the transmission power level maximum. The wireless communications device disables the transmission when the signal strength falls below the predetermined threshold.
