  • Method and apparatus for adapting signaling to maximize the efficiency of spectrum usage for multi-band systems in the presence of interference
    Patent number: 7403575
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operation in a multi-frequency band wideband system in the presence of an interference, the method comprising the steps: receiving signaling in a plurality of wideband frequency sub-bands, each wideband frequency sub-band having a different center frequency, wherein a bandwidth of each wideband frequency sub-band is at least 2 percent of a center frequency of the wideband frequency sub-band; detecting an interfering signal having signal energy in a portion of a respective sub-band of the wideband frequency sub-bands; modifying at least one of a center frequency and a bandwidth of the respective sub-band in order to operate in the presence of the interfering signal; and instructing a transmitting device transmitting the signaling to transmit subsequent signaling accounting for the modification of the center frequency of the respective sub-band.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2008
    Assignee: General Atomics
    Inventors: Stephan W. Gehring, Jason L. Ellis, Susan C. Lin, Gerald D. Rogerson
  • Method and apparatus for adapting multi-band ultra-wideband signaling to interference sources
    Patent number: 7342973
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operation in a multi-frequency band system in the presence of an interference, the method comprising the steps of: receiving signaling in a plurality of wideband frequency sub-bands, each wideband frequency sub-band having a different center frequency, wherein a bandwidth of each wideband frequency sub-band is at least 2 percent of a center frequency of the wideband frequency sub-band; detecting an interfering signal having signal energy in a portion of a respective sub-band of the wideband frequency sub-bands; deciding to discontinue use of the respective sub-band; and instructing a transmitting device transmitting the signaling to transmit subsequent signaling in any except the respective sub-band of the plurality of wideband frequency sub-bands.
