Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A system capable of communicating information concerning a received signal, comprising: a sensor, the sensor comprising a processing circuitry and configured to:
(a) responsive to receiving by a detecting sensor, during a defined time interval, data indicative of an entire data of a frequency band received by the detecting sensor during the defined time interval, comprising at least one signal emitted by at least one emitter, and to detecting of the at least one emitted signal by the detecting sensor, perform the following:
i) send by the detecting sensor, during the defined time interval, to at least one of other sensors in a selected sensor group, first information indicative of the at least one detected emitted signal;
ii) responsive to receiving first information from the at least one of other sensors in the selected sensor group, indicative of detection of the at least one detected emitted signal by the at least one of other sensors, determine which assistance information, if any, should be sent to at least one of: each one of at least one of other sensors in the selected sensor group; at least one system center,
wherein the assistance information corresponds to the at least one emitted signal;

iii) perform one of the following:
A. send from the detecting sensor the assistance information, to at least one non-detecting sensor, the at least one non-detecting sensor corresponding to the determination; or
B. send from the detecting sensor, to at least one system center, the assistance information, wherein the assistance information is capable of being utilized by the at least one system center to send second assistance information to at least one non-detecting sensor,

wherein there is associated, with the at least one detected emitted signal, at least one of:
(I) one or more Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) values; and
(II) one or more Pulse Width (PW) values,
wherein the one or more Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) values and the one or more pulse width (PW) values vary,
wherein at least one of the assistance information and the second assistance information comprise at least one of:
(1) a PRI parameter corresponding to the one or more PRI values; and
(2) a PW parameter corresponding to the one or more PW values,
wherein the assistance information and the second assistance information are capable of being utilized by the at least one non-detecting sensor to perform an action with respect to data indicative of an entire data of a frequency band received by the at least one non-detecting sensor during a corresponding defined time interval, the action corresponding to the at least one emitted signal,
wherein the performing of the action comprises extracting, from the data indicative of the entire data of a frequency band received by the at least one non-detecting sensor during the corresponding defined time interval, data indicative of the at least one emitted signal.
