Device agnostic psa for aerosol generation device

An aerosol provision system comprising:

• an aerosol provision device;
• an aerosol generator configured to generate an aerosol from aerosol generating material;
• a lock assembly configured to prevent operation of the aerosol generator for generating the aerosol in a locked state, and enable operation of the aerosol generator for generating the aerosol in an unlocked state, the lock assembly being configured to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state responsive to authentication of an unlock code received in a control signal from a host device in communication with an authentication agent via a network;
• and
• an adaptive signal detector comprising receiving circuitry configured to receive the control signal wirelessly from the host device and processing circuitry configured to process the control signal to extract the unlock code,
• wherein the adaptive signal detector is configured to determine environmental context information and to adjust the receiving circuitry based on the environmental context information to enable better reception of the control signal to facilitate extracting the unlock code from the control signal, and
• wherein the environmental context information comprises information relating to an intensity of the control signal, environmental noise, and changes in either the intensity or the environmental noise during transmission of the control signal.
