A method and apparatus are provided for autonomously detecting and reporting anomalies in actions of an autonomous mobile node, or in behaviors of a swarm of autonomous mobile nodes to an operator. The autonomous mobile node may experience anomalies or unexpected situations due to various failures or external influence (e.g. natural weather phenomena, enemy threats). During a training phase a prediction model and a structured model may be established from measurement data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous mobile node or a swarm of nodes while executing an action or behavior under normal circumstances. A prediction model forecasts the expected outcome of an action or behavior, and structured model helps quantify the similarity of a learned action or behavior to the currently observed situation. Based on the measurement data applicable models can be used for an action or behavior for anomaly detection in the action or behavior.

Method and apparatus for biologically inspired autonomous infrastructure monitoring

Techniques for autonomously establishing, maintaining, and repairing of a wireless communication network among multiple autonomous mobile nodes (AMN) are provided. The multiple AMNs are flown towards a first node. A tentacle is established with the first node and extended to cover a second node over a distance, thereby establishing a wireless communication network between the first node and the second node via the multiple AMNs. Any damage to the established wireless communication network or tentacle may be autonomously detected and repaired by using spare AMNs. Further, the communication network may be used to enable autonomous detection, tracking of the second node, as well as autonomous detection of a contamination area, based on data received from one or more sensors onboard the AMNs deployed in the air.

Method and apparatus for control of multiple autonomous mobile nodes based on dynamic situational awareness data

A system and methods for dynamic routing under extreme cognitive jamming environments are presented. Jammer signals emitted by a network protocol-aware cognitive jammer are scanned for at a router node in an ad-hoc wireless network, and jammer behaviors are detected based on signal characteristics of the jammer signals. A network dynamic pattern caused by the network protocol-aware cognitive jammer is classified based on the detected jammer behaviors observed over a period of time, and dynamic routing strategies of the first router node are adapted to achieve robust data delivery based on the network behavioral pattern. Data packets sent by the router node are routed to avoid nodes and routes that are affected by the jammer signals.

A system and method for medium access control in a wireless communication network including the use of packets having a header and plural data portions, acknowledgement request features, corrupt packet identification, and adaptive duty cycling.

System and method for media access control for a duty cycle network

An energy efficient radio having a clocking system utilizing two clocks with very different precision and power characteristics. In another aspect, the time that a radio spends on listening/receiving is optimized so that energy is not wasted when there is no need to keep receiving. In another aspect, to further improve the energy efficiency, two receive portions with drastic difference in power consumption, instead of a single receive portion as is used in a typical wireless receiver, and are used to process different parts of a received packet.

System and method for an energy efficient RF transceiver

Local clock modeling for a discrete event simulator is described. A local clock generator provides realistic clock characteristics in terms of clock precision and clock drift and clock mapping utilities provide API for other modules and/or protocols in the discrete event simulator to schedule events on local clocks instead of global clock of the simulator.

System and method for clock modeling in discrete-event simulation

The use of Protocol Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) and HAIPE encryption has traditionally been mutually exclusive. IP-layer encryption renders the upper layers, such as TCP, unavailable to the PEP. By integrating the IP layer encryption into the modem and using additive or multiplicative increase and decrease signals as bandwidth notification, signaling is provided across the cryptographic boundary to support the use of a bandwidth aware PEP in a network protected by IP-layer encryption.
