    Abstract: A moving object detector detects a moving object in a channel. The detection comprises the detector receiving a plurality of frames based on a transmitter transmitting a plurality of frames over a channel. One or more channel impulse responses (CIRs) of the channel is determined based on the received plurality of frames. The detector determines a CIR phase for each of the CIRs and a phase signal is formed based on a phase value of the CIR phase for each of the CIRs. The detector compares the phase signal with a target signal and detects the moving object in the channel based on the comparison.

    Abstract: A method for localizing a wireless node includes synchronizing a respective time reference of a plurality of wideband spectrum-sensing units and a master transceiver. A sensing location of each wideband spectrum-sensing unit is stored in a first memory. Each wideband spectrum-sensing unit stores in a second memory a plurality of time-limited samples of a transmission received from a slave transceiver. The time limit of the transmission is determined by the master transceiver, receiving the transmission. The samples from the second memory are correlated with a corresponding plurality of reconstructed samples stored in the first memory to form a respective power delay profile for each of the of the wideband spectrum-sensing units. A slave location of the slave transceiver is determined by applying a Time Difference Of Arrival method to the respective power delay profiles.
