  • Patent number: 11909518
    Abstract: A method for a user equipment operating in a cellular network having a plurality of base stations, the user equipment operating on at least one of the base stations, hereinafter the serving base station, for the case of a communication loss to its serving base station, whereby the conditions relating to the serving base station or the corresponding frequency fulfills the criteria concerning jamming. The method includes the steps of: scanning for accessible base stations of the cellular network, examining the at least one base station being identified through the scanning step, by means of signalling message, evaluating the response behavior of the at least one base station, wherein in consideration of the response behavior of at least one of said base station if said base station is rated as suspicious: indicating a jamming situation, otherwise camping on at least one of the base stations.

  • Patent number: 9614640
    Abstract: A base station in a cellular radio network and user equipment assigned to a cell are linked by an air interface for communication on a respective communication channel in a communication band. The same communication band is common to at least one of the cells and to the user equipment on the respective communication channel of a cell. A jamming transmitter is detected by decoding a cell, by way of successful reading of control information of the cell, detecting a wideband power parameter representative of the communication band, and detecting a channel power parameter representative for a part of the communication band that is a communication channel. A narrowband jamming transmitter is indicated in the case that decoding of the cell failed, the wideband power parameter is not above a first threshold, and the channel power parameter is above a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 9198062
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting a jamming transmitter affecting a communication user equipment, wherein said communication user equipment (UE) and a number of base node stations (BNS) are components of a cellular code division multiple access (CDMA) based radio network (RN), wherein a communication signal unit (SU) is correlated with a pseudonoise spread code (SC) in a serving cell coverage area (CA) of a serving base node station (sBNS) and transmitted as a pseudonoise chip (CHI) in a multiple shared communication frequency channel spectrally located between an upper frequency and a lower frequency of a communication frequency band (FB I-XIX) and the pseudonoise spread code (SC) is received by the communication user equipment (UE) as a serving pseudonoise spread code (sSC) from said serving base node station (BNS) in a serving downlink channel (sCPICH).
