GEO-SECURITY METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A geo-security method, comprising the steps of:
- (a) transmitting a probe signal using a transmitter of a wireless device at a transmission site to be authenticated;
(b) time-reversal precoding a feedback transmission based on a channel response estimation of the probe signal;
(c) including the time-reversal precoding in a signal transmission at the transmission site to be authenticated;
(d) estimating the time-reversal precoding in the signal transmission; and
(e) authenticating the transmission site based on the estimating step (d) and the probe signal channel response estimation of step (b).

Abstract
The geo-security method and system uses spatio-temporal radio channel information during authentication to grant permission to access, use and/or operate the intended device. The geo-security method and system uses a wideband radio channel impulse response (or transfer function of radio channel) from antenna of RF source to antenna of a RF receiver at the device position to determine the legitimacy of the intended device'"'"'s location.
