  • Patent number: 8565439
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting scrambling of a radiocommunication network. The method is applied by a radiocommunication circuit capable of being connected to the network by being synchronized on a radiocommunication channel. The method includes a final detection phase, having the following steps: detection of verification of the following final condition: there are N radiocommunication channels on which the radiocommunication circuit cannot be synchronized despite detection of a power level normally sufficient for being synchronized, where N>2; and if the final condition is verified, generation of a final scrambling signal with a probability of scrambling equal to 100%. The method also includes at least one intermediate detection phase, having the following steps: detection of verification of at least one intermediate condition; and if the at least one intermediate condition is verified, generation of an intermediate scrambling signal with a probability of scrambling of less than 100%.

  • Publication number: 20100222002
    Abstract: A radiocommunication module is provided, which includes a transmitter with a first mode of communication in at least one first frequency band. The module also includes: an interference detector for emitting a warning signal if interference is detected; and a controller for controlling the transmitter in such a way that it is able to switch between the first mode of communication and a second mode of communication which is different from the first mode, if the interference detector emits the warning signal.
