Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to secure sounding signal. A device may generate two or more sounding signals to be sent using two or more antennas to a receiving device across a plurality of symbol intervals. The device may apply a first masking signal to a first sounding signal of the two or more sounding signals over a first symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals. The device may apply a second masking signal to a second sounding signal over a second symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals. The device may cause to send the two or more sounding signals to receiving device using the two or more antennas.

Claims (32)

1. A device, the device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:

generate two or more sounding signals to be sent using two or more antennas to a receiving device across a plurality of symbol intervals, wherein each sounding signal comprising a P-matrix phase rotation, a secure signal, and a masking signal;

apply a first masking signal to a first sounding signal of the two or more sounding signals over a first symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals;

apply a second masking signal to a second sounding signal over a second symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals; and

cause to send the two or more sounding signals to the receiving device using the two or more antennas, wherein the secure signals are different across antennas and remain constant over time, and the masking signals are different across symbol intervals and remain constant across antennas.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the sounding signals are different across the one or antennas.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the two or more sounding signals are generated using different masking signals.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to apply a p-matrix phase rotation to the two or more sounding signals.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein a same masking signal is maintained across the two or more antennas.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein a same sounding signal is maintained across the plurality of the symbol intervals.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein an inverse p-matrix is to be used by the receiving device to recover original sounding signals.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein masking signals are different across the plurality of the symbol intervals.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

generating two or more sounding signals to be sent using two or more antennas to a receiving device across a plurality of symbol intervals, wherein each sounding signal comprising a P-matrix phase rotation, a secure signal, and a masking signal;

applying a first masking signal to a first sounding signal of the two or more sounding signals over a first symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals;

applying a second masking signal to a second sounding signal over a second symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals; and

causing to send the two or more sounding signals to the receiving device using the two or more antennas, wherein the secure signals are different across antennas and remain constant over time, and the masking signals are different across symbol intervals and remain constant across antennas.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the sounding signals are different across the one or antennas.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the two or more sounding signals are generated using different masking signals.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise applying a p-matrix phase rotation to the two or more sounding signals.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein a same masking signal is maintained across the two or more antennas.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein a same sounding signal is maintained across the plurality of the symbol intervals.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein an inverse p-matrix is to be used by the receiving device to recover original sounding signals.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein masking signals are different across the plurality of the symbol intervals.

17. A method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors, two or more sounding signals to be sent using two or more antennas to a receiving device across a plurality of symbol intervals, wherein each sounding signal comprising a P-matrix phase rotation, a secure signal, and a masking signal;

applying a first masking signal to a first sounding signal of the two or more sounding signals over a first symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals;

applying a second masking signal to a second sounding signal over a second symbol interval of the plurality of the symbol intervals; and

causing to send the two or more sounding signals to the receiving device using the two or more antennas, wherein the secure signals are different across antennas and remain constant over time, and the masking signals are different across symbol intervals and remain constant across antennas.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the sounding signals are different across the one or antennas.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the two or more sounding signals are generated using different masking signals.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising applying a p-matrix phase rotation to the two or more sounding signals.
