Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management. The system includes at least one monitoring sensor, at least one data analysis engine, at least one application, a semantic engine, a programmable rules and policy editor, a tip and cue server, and/or a control panel. The tip and cue server is operable utilize the environmental awareness from the data processed by the at least one data analysis engine in combination with additional information to create actionable data.

Claims (27)

1. A system for spectrum analysis in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one sensor operable to create measured data based on the electromagnetic environment;

a radio receiver front-end configured to receive the measured data and process the measured data to create processed data;

a programmable channelizer in communication with the radio receiver front-end configured to analyze the processed data; and

a noise floor estimator in communication with the programmable channelizer.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the at least one sensor is mounted on a drone, on a vehicle, in or on a street light, in or on a traffic pole, and/or on top of a building.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the programmable channelizer includes a time domain programmable channelizer.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the programmable channelizer includes a frequency domain programmable channelizer.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the programmable channelizer includes channelization selector logic for a table lookup of filter coefficient and channelization vectors.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the programmable channelizer is operable to create a deference matrix which shows overlapping channels.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a blind detection engine.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the blind detection engine is operable to detect channel bandwidths using the processed data.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processed data undergoes average processing including blind detection of channel bandwidths and center frequency.

10. A system for spectrum analysis in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one sensor operable to create measured data based on the electromagnetic environment;

a programmable channelizer operable to receive the measured data or processed data based on the measured data, wherein the programmable channelizer is further configured to analyze the measured data or the processed data; and

a blind detection engine in communication with the programmable channelizer.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein one or more of the at least one sensor is mounted on a drone, on a vehicle, in or on a street light, in or on a traffic pole, and/or on top of a building.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the programmable channelizer includes a time domain programmable channelizer.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the programmable channelizer includes a frequency domain programmable channelizer.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the programmable channelizer is operable to create a deference matrix which shows overlapping channels.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processed data undergoes average processing including blind detection of channel bandwidths and center frequency.

16. A system for spectrum analysis in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

a programmable channelizer in communication with a radio receiver front-end subsystem configured to analyze processed data from the electromagnetic environment, wherein the processed data from the electromagnetic environment is based on measured data from the electromagnetic environment;

a classification engine in communication with the programmable channelizer; and

an in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) buffer.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the I/Q buffer is partitioned into N blocks with L oversamples, and wherein an original sample rate is decimated.
