SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION AND REPORTING OF DATA SIGNAL INTERFERENCE THROUGH VEHICLE CROWD SOURCING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826241 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION AND REPORTING OF DATA SIGNAL INTERFERENCE THROUGH VEHICLE CROWD SOURCING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a system for detecting and reporting data signal interference using a network of vehicles. - Each vehicle in the system is equipped with a GNSS receiver, a cellular modem, and a computerized detection and reporting controller. - The controller is programmed to monitor the GNSS signal, analyze it for radio frequency (RF) interference, and generate a report of any interference events to a remote server. - The server device receives and monitors the reports from each vehicle, identifies a threshold RF interference event based on the reports, and initiates a remedial action. - The system aims to improve the detection and reporting of RF interference, which can help in identifying and addressing potential issues in wireless communication networks. - The use of a network of vehicles allows for widespread coverage and real-time monitoring of RF interference events. - The system can help in maintaining the reliability and performance of wireless communication networks by addressing interference issues promptly.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for detection and reporting of data signal interference includes a plurality of vehicles. Each vehicle includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver receiving a GNSS signal, a cellular modem configured for sending and receiving data over a wireless communication network, and a computerized detection and reporting controller. The controller includes programming to monitor the GNSS signal, analyze the GNSS signal to identify a presence of radio frequency (RF) interference, and generate a report of an RF interference event to a remote server device based upon the presence of the interference. The system further includes the server device including programming to monitor the report of the interference event from each of the vehicles, identify a threshold RF interference event based upon the report of the RF interference event from each of the plurality of vehicles, and command a remedial action based upon the threshold RF interference event.
