METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BANNING DEVICES PERFORMING ACTIVE SECURITY ATTACKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240224042 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BANNING DEVICES PERFORMING ACTIVE SECURITY ATTACKS
Simplified Explanation
A user equipment (UE) detects signals from attacking devices that interfere with downlink signals from base stations. The UE measures the angle of arrival (AOA) and power information of the interfering signals and sends an interference report to a serving base station. The base station may identify the attacking device based on the position of the device determined using the information from the interference report and known positions of network-connected devices.
- UE detects interfering signals from attacking devices.
- Measures angle of arrival and power information of the interfering signals.
- Sends interference report to base station.
- Base station identifies attacking device based on position information.
- Base station may bar access to the network by the attacking device.

Questions about Signal Interference Detection
1. How does signal interference impact network performance? Signal interference can disrupt communication, reduce signal quality, and lead to data loss. 2. What are the common methods used to detect and mitigate signal interference in wireless networks? Common methods include spectrum analysis, beamforming, and interference cancellation techniques.
Original Abstract Submitted
a user equipment (ue) detects signals transmitted by one or more attacking devices that interfere with downlink signals from base stations. the ue measures the angle of arrival (aoa) and power information of the interfering signals and sends an interference report to a serving base station. the base station may receive interference reports for the interfering signals from multiple ues. one or more base stations may determine the identity of the attacking device based on the position of the attacking device determined using the information from the interference report and known positions of devices connected to the network. the one or more base stations may bar access to the network by the attacking device once the attacking device is identified and/or may report the attacking device.
