Hi ftth,

Please comment on the suitability of a geolocation database to protect fixed devices in the quest for perfection. Why would any radio signatures be necessary if the protected radios do not move?

>>Are you suggesting an end game (i.e. cognitive radios pervasive, across all bands) where a few hundred million mobile devices <<

Why so few mobile devices? Isn't 2.78 per person more like it?

>> each updates a database with every micro-movement of the device (and all other pertinent data associated with each operational device), every second (or so),<<

Why so much precision of mobile updates?
Every 100 meters is enough protection.

>>that data is instantaneously propagated globally to a distributed network of mirrored databases<<

With the closest database (which might be your traffic light controller, your IT department RADIUS server, your video supplier, etc.) taking its own time to propagate to distant databases - all interference is local.

>> PS the database also includes perhaps billions of fixed devices, and all types of users (government, public safety etc, not just commercial)<<

Yes. Within whatever limits imposed by Homeland Security.

I guess your next question is how to fund the databases.
