  • Patent number: 11297650
    Abstract: A method for detecting aggressive signal transmission signatures in a wireless communication network is provided. The network includes at least one cooperative device, an access point, and at least one non-cooperative device. The method includes steps of generating a matrix of at least 8 bits configured to register each instance of at least one of a clear-to-send frame and a request-to-send frame transmitted between the at least one cooperative device and the access point during a specified duration, calculating a cumulative distribution function based on the registered instances within the generated matrix for a probability of the presence of an aggressive transmission signal by the at least one non-cooperative device within a measurable vicinity of one or more of the cooperative device and the access point, and determining the presence of the aggressive transmission signal based on the calculated cumulative distribution function being greater than a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20200052992
    Abstract: A method for detecting aggressive signal transmission signatures in a wireless communication network is provided. The network includes at least one station, at least one access point, and at least one non-cooperative transmission source. The method includes steps of generating a matrix of each instance of request-to-send (RTS) messages received by the access point during a specified observation cycle, recording, in a memory of the access point, a number of cumulative RTS messages received from the station, calculating a cumulative distribution function (CDF), based on the recorded RTS message instances in the memory, for a probability of the presence of an aggressive transmission signal by the non-cooperative transmission source within a transmission range of the access point, and determining the presence of the aggressive transmission signal based on the calculated CDF being greater than a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8613014
    Abstract: A method and system is contemplated for television displayed messaging. The television displayed messaging may be facilitated with an automated process for selecting an adapter suitable for use in formatting to be displayed messages according to operating requirements of the television. The television displayed messaging may be implemented as a one-way, downstream process such that the television or a user agent associated therewith need not overload upstream communications in order to receive and display messages.

  • Publication number: 20120326980
    Abstract: A keyboard application operably configured to facilitate user inputs through a keyboard displayed within a screen or other user-viewable interface by way of signaling received from a remote control. The application may be configured to facilitate user selection of one or more keys with the use of shortcuts buttons on the remote control that allow the user to navigate to different areas of the keyboard in a more efficient manner. The application may be operable with an interactive television (iTV) system to facilitate interfacing user requests with an output device and other system associated with a multiple system operator (MSO), such as to support interfacing user inputs required to enable product purchasing, navigation of an electronic programming guide (EPG), instigation of video on demand (VOD), textual messaging, web browsing, etc.
