  • Patent number: 11202216
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support identifying pairings and channel parameters in short-range wireless communications such as bluetooth low energy interfaces. Radio frequency sensors may be positioned within an electromagnetic environment where a master wireless device and a slave wireless device share short-range wireless communications. Signals transmitted between the master wireless device and the slave wireless device can be received by the radio frequency sensors. Inter-arrival times for packets within the received signals may be identified. Statistics of the inter-arrival times can be analyzed to identify connection intervals between the master wireless device and the slave wireless device as well as back-to-back interval exchanged within the connection intervals. Packet header contents may be used to reconcile the estimated timing parameters and time slots. Pairings between the master wireless device and the slave wireless device may be identified and tracked along with communication channel parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160127392
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support detecting and identifying threats associated with wireless devices. A radio receiver can collect radio frequency signals from one or more sensor antennas positioned within an electromagnetic environment. The receiver can generate data samples representing at least a portion of the radio frequency signals. Feature vectors can be generated comprising at least a portion of the data samples and attribute information. The attribute information can describe one or more features of a communicated signal within the radio frequency signals. Content of the feature vectors may be compared against signatures of known signals to identify radio frequency signals associated with a wireless attack. Content of the feature vectors may be compared against templates of known attacks to classify the identified wireless attacks. Threat information associated with the wireless attacks may be presented to one or more operator interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20160127403
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support a sensor mesh and signal transmission architecture for electromagnetic signature analysis and threat detection. Sensor antennas may be deployed within an electromagnetic environment. A configurable antenna feed network can couple radio frequency signals from the antennas to both software-defined radio receivers and hardware-defined radio receivers. A raw signal analysis engine associated with the software-defined radio receiver can receive digital samples of the radio frequency signals, identify signal features within the digital samples, and generate signal feature vectors from the identified signal features. A signal feature network can receive the signal feature. A signal aggregation and analysis engine can receive the signal feature vectors from the signal feature network, aggregate the signal feature vectors, process the signal feature vectors, and identify wireless attacks according to the signal features within the signal feature vectors.

  • Publication number: 20160124071
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support coprocessing radio signals and video to identify and locate a radio transmitter. Positions and orientations for cameras and RF sensors may be maintained. An RF signature associated with the radio transmitter may be received from the RF sensors to determine an RF persona. A first physical location for the radio transmitter may be estimated according to a physical radio propagation model operating on RF signals. A video stream from one or more of the cameras may be received. An individual may be identified in the video stream using computer vision techniques. A second physical location for the radio transmitter may be estimated from the video stream. Relationships may be established between the first physical location and the second physical location and between the RF persona and the identified individual. The relationships may be presented to an operator interface.

  • Publication number: 20160127931
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support determining a physical position of a radio transmitter. A physical model for electromagnetic signal propagation within the electromagnetic environment may be established. Radio frequency signal power levels associated with the radio transmitter may be received from one or more radio frequency sensors. Parameters associated with the physical model may be estimated for one or more test locations within the electromagnetic environment. An error metric between the received radio frequency signal power levels and the physical model may be computed for the one or more test locations. Bounds on the parameters associated with the physical model may be established to prune away physically impossible solutions. The parameters associated with the physical model may be optimized across the one or more test locations to establish a preferred location estimate for the radio transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20150350914
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support identifying radio transmissions associated with autonomous or remote-controlled vehicles. Radio frequency signals may be received using one or more sensors, wherein the sensors comprise radio receivers. Radio frequency fingerprints may be identified within one or more of the radio frequency signals, wherein the radio frequency fingerprints comprise radio signal characteristics or radio hardware identifiers. A stored radio frequency fingerprint may be determined as matching the received radio frequency fingerprint. A motion characteristic may be computed. The received radio frequency fingerprint may be associated with an autonomous or remote-controlled vehicle based upon the stored radio frequency fingerprint or the motion characteristic. Information regarding the identified autonomous or remote-controlled vehicle may be presenting to one or more operator interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20150350228
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support threat detection using electromagnetic signatures. One or more sensors comprising radio receivers may receive radio frequency signals within an electromagnetic environment. Radio frequency signatures may be identified from one or more of the radio frequency signals. A baseline electromagnetic environment may be established from the radio frequency signatures. The radio frequency signatures may be monitored over time to detect variations from the baseline electromagnetic environment. Variations in the electromagnetic environment may be evaluated against stored threat signatures. Operator interfaces may present indications of threats determined from evaluating the variations in the electromagnetic environment.

  • Publication number: 20150349810
    Abstract: Systems and methods can support identifying multiple radio transmitters as being integrated within a single communications device. Radio frequency signals may be collected using one or more sensors incorporating radio receivers. A first radio frequency signature and a second radio frequency signature may be identified within one or more of the radio frequency signals as originating respectively from a first radio transmitter and a second radio transmitter. Characteristics of the first and second radio frequency signatures may be analyzed to evaluate a relationship between the first and second radio frequency signatures. It may be determined whether or not the first and second radio transmitters are integrated within a common wireless electronic device based upon the evaluated relationship between the first radio frequency signature and the second radio frequency signature. Characteristics and behaviors associated with the wireless electronic device may be determined therefrom.
