METHODS OF REMOTELY IDENTIFYING, SUPPRESSING, DISABLING AND ACCESS FILTERING WIRELESS DEVICES USING SIGNAL TIMING AND INTERCEPT

摘要

Techniques for interfering with communications made according to a wireless standard (fig.5) between a beacon (relevant legitimate beacons) and a wireless device (collateral wireless devices). The techniques determine a characteristic that is required by the standard for a signal produced during the communication. Then an interference signal is generated that is specifically adapted to the characteristic and interferes with the characteristc such that the wireless device and the beacon cannot interact as provided for the communication by the wireless standard. The techniques may be used to suppress legitimate wireless device beacons in an operational area, to establish a baiting beacon in the operational area, or to interfere with communications between a wireless device and a baiting beacon or other beacon. The interference signal is specifically adapted to the characteristic to reduce the amount of power required for the interference signal and the conspicuousness of the interference signal.
