Abstract: Methods and apparatus for phased-based pre-carrier signal detection in a communication system are described. In embodiments, inphase and quadrature (IQ) data is generated from a received signal. A current phase delta value is determined from the IQ data and combined with existing phase delta value, such as an averaged phase delta value, which is compared with a threshold value to determine if a pre-carrier signal in the received signal has ended.

Abstract: In a geolocation system, ancillary parameter values, i.e., those produced during the geolocation process but not directly related to the calculation of the geolocation, are recorded and stored. These “ancillary” parameter values include signal characterization data and secondary measurements produced in the calculation of the geolocation. These parameter values are processed, in one approach, with respect to a weighted matrix in order to determine a confidence or fidelity value of the determined geolocation. Confidence is an indication of the likelihood that the geolocation result produced is in fact the desired target and that the identified location has a reasonable degree of quality so as to be practical or accurate.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify a type of acoustic event Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). In one embodiment, received sound is processed using the MFCCs to locate a peak for comparison with a stored event to determine if the peak corresponds to the acoustic event.
