Abstract
A network, network device and method is disclosed. A network of network nodes is disclosed in which the network nodes securely transmit communication signals using one or more spatial parameters unique to the network nodes. A data positioning device capable of operating as a node in a network of the present invention is also disclosed.
Claims37
A network comprising:
- a first network node;
- and,
- a second network node to wirelessly communication with said first network node, wherein said first network node securely transmits communication signals to said second network node using one or more spatial parameters unique to said second network node, wherein
- said one or more spatial parameters include at least one of a position parameter and a velocity parameter,
- said communication signals are decodable by said second network node only when said one or more spatial parameters match a corresponding spatial characteristic of said second network node,
- said communication signals sent from said first network node to said second network node are encrypted using said one or more spatial parameters, and wherein
- said communication signals may be decrypted by said second network node using one or more corresponding spatial characteristics of said second network node.
4 more elements
A positioning device coupled to a network, comprising:
- a receiver portion;
- a transmitter portion;
- a processor coupled to the receiver portion and transmitter portion;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor to store one or more instruction sequences, said instruction sequences to cause the positioning device to communicate wirelessly with a second positioning device by securely transmitting communication signals to said second positioning device using one or more spatial parameters unique to said second network node, wherein
- said one or more spatial parameters include at least one of a position parameter and a velocity parameter,
- said communication signals are decodable by said second positioning device only when said one or more spatial parameters match a corresponding spatial characteristic of said second positioning device,
- said communication signals are decodable by said second positioning device only when said one or more spatial parameters match a corresponding spatial characteristic of said second positioning device.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- encoding communication signals using one or more spatial parameters unique to a second network node;
- transmitting said communication signals from a first network node to the second network node, said first and second network nodes to comprise a wireless network;
- receiving said communication signals by said second network node;
- and
- decoding said communication signals by said second network node when said one or more spatial parameters match a corresponding spatial characteristic of said second network node, wherein
- said one or more spatial parameters include at least one of a position parameter and a velocity parameter,
- comprising encoding said communication signals using a position, velocity, time (PVT) calculation,
- generating a new signal using said PVT calculation, where said new signal can only be demodulated by a recipient node that is located in an intended position.
