Claim Text:
1. A mobile device comprising a processor that is configured to control the mobile device to perform operations comprising: communicating using a first communications mode comprising a first level of security/privacy and a first wireless communications link that is based upon radio frequency emissions comprising a first air interface, a first power level, a first cyclostationary signature and a first detectability measure that is based upon the first power level and the first cyclostationary signature; communicating using a second communications mode comprising a second level of security/privacy that is greater than the first level of security/privacy and a second wireless communications link that is based upon radio frequency emissions comprising a second power level that is less than the first power level, a second air interface that differs from the first air interface, a second cyclostationary signature that differs from the first cyclostationary signature and comprises a reduction relative to the first cyclostationary signature and a second detectability measure that is less than the first detectability measure based upon the second power level being less than the first power level and based upon the second cyclostationary signature comprising said reduction relative to the first cyclostationary signature; using the first communications mode to communicate information that is associated with the first level of security/privacy while refraining from using the second communications mode to communicate information that is associated with the first level of security/privacy; and using the second communications mode to communicate information that is associated with the second level of security/privacy while refraining from using the first communications mode to communicate information that is associated with the second level of security/privacy; wirelessly communicating with a base station, at a first distance from the base station, using the first communications mode comprising the first level of security/privacy; and wirelessly communicating with an access point, at a second distance from the access point that is less than the first distance, using the second communications mode comprising the second level of security/privacy that is greater than the first level of security/privacy, responsive to a proximity condition having been satisfied by the mobile device relative to the access point.
