SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of the Air Force intends to 

grant the partially exclusive patent 

license agreement for the invention 

described in: U.S. Patent No. 

10,111,094, entitled, ‘‘Wireless Intrusion 

Detection and Device Fingerprinting 

Through Preamble Manipulation,’’ filed 

August 14, 2015, and issued October 23, 

2018. 

Abstract of Patent 

A method of establishing a hardware 

identity of a coordinating device in a 

wireless network is provided. A 

standard PHY preamble is modified to 

a preamble that can be received by the 

coordinating device having an expected 

hardware configuration. The modified 

PHY preamble is transmitted with an 

association request by a joining device. 

In response to not receiving a reply 

containing an association response from 

the coordinating device by the joining 

device, determining the hardware 

configuration of the coordinating device 

is not the expected hardware 

configuration. A further method of 

characterizing a hardware identity of a 

device in a wireless network is also 

provided. A request with a modified 

PHY preamble is transmitted to a 

device. If a reply is received from the 

device, characterizing the device as a 

first hardware type. And, if a reply is 

not received, characterizing the device 

as not the first hardware type. 

The Department of the Air Force may 

grant the prospective license unless a 

timely objection is received that 

sufficiently shows the grant of the 

license would be inconsistent with the 

Bayh-Dole Act or implementing 

regulations. A competing application for 

a patent license agreement, completed 

in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and 

received by the Air Force within the 

period for timely objections, will be 

treated as an objection and may be 

considered as an alternative to the 

proposed license. 

Adriane Paris, 

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison 

Officer.

conduct a survey of Promise 

Neighborhoods grantees and to collect 

multiple years of administrative school
