Abstract: A first frequency agile waveform and additional frequency agile signal waveform(s) having in-phase and a quadrature phase components, each shifted by a different delta frequency, are transmitted in the direction of a possible dispersive target. Return signal(s) each comprising an in-phase component and a quadrature phase component associated with each of the frequency agile waveform(s) are received. The return signal(s) associated with the frequency agile signal waveform(s) are phase shifted by their respective delta frequenc(ies). A combined return signal is generated by combining the first return signal and the additional phase shifted return signal(s). A probability of a potential target is determined when the combined return signal exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A method and system for billing an account of a wireless terminal to reflect multicast transmission of data to the wireless terminal. A first record is sent to a billing system indicating that, at a given time, data was transmitted to a multicast group. A second record is sent to the billing system indicating that, at the given time, a given wireless terminal was a member of the multicast group. The billing system correlates the first and second records to determine that the data was transmitted to a given wireless terminal. The billing system may then generate a charge for transmission of the data to the given wireless terminal.

Rather than focusing on computing asymptotic performance bounds under assumptions of homogeneity or randomness in the network topology and/or workload, the present invention accommodates any given network, technology, interference model, routing paradigm, and workload. Using a conflict graph to formally characterize the impact of wireless interference on the performance of multi-hop wireless networks, methods for computing upper and lower bounds on the capacity of a given wireless network are detailed. Besides computing network capacity, the model and method disclosed can also enable or benefit other applications including maximizing fairness and minimizing maximum link utilization.
