Abstract: A wireless communication base station consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention collects user transmissions and creates and maintains a database storing data that relates communication parameters to a geographic location. A base station receiver receives data packets containing data describing a geographic location of a mobile communication node. The base station predicts a future geographic location of the mobile communication node, and transmits communication parameters to the mobile communication node associated with the predicted future geographic location. The mobile communication node consistent with certain embodiments of the invention has a GPS positioning device that determines a geographic location of the communication node. A transceiver transmits data representing the geographic location and receives data representing communication parameters determined as a function of the data representing the geographic location.

Abstract: An electromagnetic emission source identification apparatus is provided, the identification apparatus comprising a sensor device, a data transmitter, and a computer device. The sensor device is configured to sense an electromagnetic emission from a source, wherein the electromagnetic emission is sensed by the sensor device as corresponding sensed emission data. The data transmitter is in communication with the sensor device and is configured to transmit the sensed emission data from the sensor device. The computer device is configured to be in communication with the data transmitter. The computer device is further configured to process digital emission data, the digital emission data corresponding to the sensed emission data, so as to determine an identification indicator, an operational characteristic indicator, and/or an accessory characteristic indicator corresponding to the source.
