Abstract

A wireless device identification system including one or more sensors each having at least one software defined radio to receive signals transmitted between one or more wireless devices and a mobile wireless device, one or more processors, and one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to capture cellular information, Wi-Fi information, Bluetooth information, and local network information from the received signals. The instructions can include correlating the captured information to the mobile wireless device by creating a weighted edge relationship graph having a plurality of nodes, including a node corresponding to each of the cellular information, the Wi-Fi information, the Bluetooth information, and the local network information, and determining an association strength between each node of the relationship graph.

Claims (27)

1. A wireless device identification system, comprising:

one or more sensors each having at least one software defined radio to receive signals transmitted between one or more wireless devices and a mobile wireless device;

one or more processors; and

one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

capture cellular information and Wi-Fi information from the received signals corresponding to the mobile wireless device;

capture Bluetooth information from the received signals and correlate the Bluetooth information to the mobile wireless device; and

correlate the cellular information and the Wi-Fi information to the mobile wireless device, including:

creating an edge weighted relationship graph having a plurality of nodes, including a node corresponding to each of the cellular information, the Wi-Fi information, and the Bluetooth information; and

determining an association strength corresponding to an edge weighting between each node of the relationship graph.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising instructions causing the one or more processors to capture local network information from the received signals and correlate the local network information to the mobile wireless device.

3. A wireless device identification system, comprising:

one or more sensors each having at least one software defined radio to receive signals transmitted between one or more wireless devices and a mobile wireless device;

one or more processors; and

one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

capture cellular information and Wi-Fi information from the received signals corresponding to the mobile wireless device; and

correlate the cellular information and the Wi-Fi information to the mobile wireless device, including creating an edge weighted relationship graph having a node corresponding to each of the cellular information and the Wi-Fi information and determining an association strength corresponding to an edge weighting between each node of the relationship graph.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein correlating the cellular information and the Wi-Fi information to the mobile wireless device further comprises determining an association strength between each node of the relationship graph.

5. A wireless device identification system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

receive signals transmitted between one or more wireless devices and a mobile wireless device;

capture cellular information and Wi-Fi information from the received signals corresponding to the mobile wireless device;

capture local network information and correlate the local network information to the mobile wireless device; and

correlate the cellular information, the Wi-Fi information, and the local network information to the mobile wireless device, including:

creating an edge weighted relationship graph having a plurality of nodes, including a node corresponding to each of the cellular information, the Wi-Fi information, and the local network information; and

determining an association strength corresponding to an edge weighting between each node of the relationship graph.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising instructions causing the one or more processors to capture Bluetooth information from the received signals and correlate the Bluetooth information to the mobile wireless device.
