Techniques, systems, architectures, and methods for providing improved feature detection of signals, especially those in relatively high interference regions, thereby allowing for earlier and longer range detection of communications and radar signals are herein provided. The techniques utilize a general framework of total variation denoising, where signals are assumed to be sparse in a combination of their first or higher order derivatives, to increase signal-to-interference ratio, which is followed by cyclostationarity detection, which is used to estimate signal features, including the period of the signals of interest and their modulation type.

Method to estimate multi-periodic signals and detect their features in interference

A system for transmitting a DMR disable signal to a target mobile radio device is provided. The system includes an antenna configured to transmit and receive messages and a base station comprising at least one computing device communicatively coupled to the antenna. The at least one computing device is configured to generate a first message to be transmitted to a target mobile radio device, the first message comprising a disable signal selected from a list of non-standard operational parameters that can be implemented by the target mobile radio device, cause transmission of the first message via the antenna to the target mobile radio device, and monitor incoming messages received via the antenna for an acknowledgement message from the target mobile radio device that the target mobile radio device has been disabled.
