Abstract: Methods and systems are described for transmitting data using various selected resources. For example, first one or more resources may be selected based at least in part on feedback from a first network node. A second network node may cause first data to be transmitted using the selected one or more resources. The second network node may also cause second data to be transmitted using second one or more resources. The resources may comprise, for example, tones, time slots, time-frequency channels, time resources, and/or frequency resources.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for physically secure communication over machine-to-machine (M2M) networks is claimed, through the use of frequency-hop and random access spread spectrum modulation formats employing using truly random spreading codes and time/frequency hopping and receiver selection strategies at the transmitters in the M2M network, blind signal detection and linear signal separation techniques at the receivers in the M2M network, completely eliminating the ability for an adversary to predict and override M2M transmissions. Additional physical security protocols are also introduced that allow the network to easily detect and identify spoofing transmissions on uplinks and downlinks, and to automatically excise those transmissions as part of the despreading procedure, even if those transmissions are received at a much higher power level than the intended transmissions.
