Method, System and Program Product for Detecting Wireless Interferers

摘要

A method, system and program product comprise generating spectral samples from at least one radio communication device being configured to be operable as an observer of transmissions within a frequency band divided into one or more sub-bands associated with communications of the radio communication device. The spectral samples at least comprise signal levels and timing information for observed signals within the sub-bands. Spectral samples determined to be decodable communications are purged. Pulses in the spectral samples are identified. The identified pulses at least comprise a power, a center frequency and a bandwidth. A list of identified pulses for the sub-bands is maintained. At least a set of features of the identified pulses in the list is extracted. A presence of at least one radio frequency device associated with the set is detected.

1. A method comprising the steps of:
generating spectral samples from at least one radio communication device being configured to be operable as an observer of transmissions within a frequency band divided into one or more sub-bands associated with communications of the radio communication device, the spectral samples at least comprising signal levels and timing information for observed signals within the sub-bands; purging spectral samples determined to be decodable communications; identifying pulses in the spectral samples, the identified pulses at least comprising a power, a center frequency and a bandwidth; maintaining a list of identified pulses for the sub-bands; extracting at least a set of features of the identified pulses in the list; and detecting a presence of at least one radio frequency device associated with the set.
