Abstract: A method for improving dynamic frequency selection (DFS) includes receiving, by an access point, a plurality of pulses in a DFS channel of the access point, determining, by the access point, a plurality of characteristics of the plurality of pulses, varying, by the access point, a threshold for radar detection, and determining, by the access point and based on at least one of the plurality of characteristics, whether the plurality of pulses are radar.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for learning radio frequency pulses transmitted at various frequencies in a wireless environment, including false radar signals and actual radar. For example, the system can keep a list of radio frequency pulse characteristics detected by access points (APs) but ignored when not declared a radar. The detected radio frequency pulse can be compared with those on the list and may be added to the deny-list if not radar. The AP learns what intervals are normal for the communication environment and if the noise someday looks like a real radar (but it not actually a radar), it will not be classified as radar because it is on the deny-list.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for providing adaptive training cursus to a trainee is disclosed. In the context of flight training for a given flight, the method allows providing training cursus recommendations by identifying every relevant phase (maneuvers and/or procedures) in a flight mission performed by a trainee; assessing the ease in flight of the trainee during each of these specific phases using an ease in flight algorithm model using psychophysiological parameters; and based on the conjunction of the ease in flight and predefined skills required to perform each phase, providing training cursus recommendations to target specifically the skills which are not yet mastered by the trainee.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a dynamic radar detection threshold for stateful dynamic frequency selection (DFS). An embodiment of a storage medium includes instructions to operations including estimate a duty time of transmission of wireless signals by an access point, the access point to provide Wi-Fi communication, the wireless signals being communicated on a DFS channel of the access point, adapt, based at least in part on the duty time of transmission, a threshold of radar signals to indicate detection of a radar signal at the access point on the DFS channel, and perform analysis of received wireless signals on the DFS channel at the access point to detect the radar signal using the adapted threshold of radar signals.

Abstract: A method for determining presence of a radar includes receiving a plurality of bursts in a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channel of an access point, storing the plurality of bursts in a queue, in response to the queue comprising a threshold amount of bursts, determining a timespan of a first burst in the queue to a last burst in the queue, partitioning the timespan into at least a first group and a second group, determining a first number of bursts present in the first group and a second number of bursts present in the second group, in response to a difference between the first number of bursts and the second number of bursts equaling more than one, determining the radar is not present, and in response to the difference between the first number of bursts and the second number of bursts equaling one or less, determining radar is present.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for providing network access to a user device in exchange for performing a blockchain mining task. The blockchain mining task may be based on any suitable blockchain consensus protocol for verifying one or more blockchain transactions that are written to a block of a blockchain, and it may utilize a processing and/or memory resource of the user device. In some implementations, a method includes: a user device transmitting a request for a blockchain mining task; in response to transmitting the request, receiving the blockchain mining task from an access point; performing the blockchain mining task by using a processing resource or memory resource of the user device; and accessing a computer network through the access point using data awarded in response to performing the blockchain mining task.

Abstract: System and method for providing clear screen TV broadcasting to subscribed users. Two signals are provided by the broadcasters for the same channel: a mixed signal that includes the main program and additional content to overlap portions of the main program on the display, and a clear screen signal which includes only the main program. By default, decoding machines e.g. STB at the user's location, are adapted to decode the mixed signal to output on the display the main program and the additional content. The embodiments provide a mechanism to provide the additional content separately to subscribed users and switch the decoding at the STB to the clear screen mode for decoding and outputting the clear TV signal instead of the mixed signal.

Abstract: Intelligent resource state memory recall techniques, and associated apparatus and methods, are disclosed. States of one or more video switcher resources in a resource state memory may be recalled to the same or different resources, depending on resource availability at the time of memory recall. A memory recall need not affect an on air signal. The memory may be recalled to recreate a desired program output, as defined in the memory, on a preview output of the video switcher, which leaves a current program output of the video switcher undisturbed when the memory is recalled.
