<p>A system and method for generating random numbers in a wireless communication network is presented. The noise present in the signal received by a wireless receiver is extracted to form random numbers. Wireless transmitters typically are identified by a synchronization signal. In acquiring the synchronization signal, a wireless receiver generates a plurality of pseudorandom sequences, despreads an incoming signal, integrates the resulting signal, and performs an energy computation to calculate an energy measure. One or more energy measures are collected in a pool of bits, and the bits are hashed to extract random numbers.</p> |
