Abstract
Methods and apparatus for simultaneous wireless network analysis are described. The apparatus may include a plurality of wireless receivers and a discriminator/analyzer module to identify data items being transmitted over one or more communications channels received by the plurality of wireless receivers. The method may comprise receiving a plurality of wireless communications signals, identifying unique communications channels and discriminating between the unique communications channels and separating the signals into unique communications streams. The method may additionally include analyzing the unique communications streams.
Claims20
Apparatus to process a plurality of wireless communications signals, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of wireless receivers, each of the plurality of wireless receivers to concurrently receive wireless communications signals on a plurality of unique communications channels;
- and
- a discriminator/analyzer module to identify data items being transmitted over each of the unique communications channels and analyze the identified data items.
A system to receive and process a plurality of wireless communications signals, the system comprising:
- a plurality of wireless receivers, each of the plurality of wireless receivers to receive one of the plurality of wireless communications signals;
- a discriminator/analyzer module coupled to the plurality of wireless receivers to identify data items being transmitted over each of the plurality of wireless communications signals;
- a storage device having instructions contained therein to analyze the data items;
- a processor to execute the instructions;
- and
- a bus to couple the discriminator module to the storage device and processor.
Method of processing a plurality of wireless communications signals, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of wireless communications signals;
- identifying unique communications channels;
- and
- discriminating between the unique communications channels and separating the signals into unique communications streams.
A machine-readable medium having machine-executable instructions contained therein, which when executed perform the following operations:
- receiving a plurality of wireless communications signals, each of the plurality of wireless communications signals received by a unique wireless receiver;
- identifying unique communications channels;
- and
- discriminating between the unique communications channels and separating the signals into unique streams.
