A method and system for securing card payment transactions using a mobile communication device provides improved security in card payment transactions such as credit and debit card transactions. Upon receipt of a transaction at the card issuer or other service provider, a message is sent to a mobile communication device that has been uniquely associated with the card. The message may be an interactive message requiring response by the card owner for authorization, or may communicate a one-time-use personal identification number (PIN) with required PIN return via the point-of-sales system or the mobile communications device. In each transaction, the card issuer or service provider confirms that the communication was received and the transaction authorized by the card owner, further ensuring the authorized use of the card. The PIN and / or interactive message response period may be voided after a short time, further improving security of the transaction.

A signal delay time measurement device outputs, to a sound space, a measurement signal sound corresponding to a measurement signal such as a pulse signal, and obtains a response signal indicating a response thereof. By comparing the response signal with a predetermined threshold, the signal delay time measurement device measures a signal delay time in the sound space. The signal delay time in the above-mentioned sound space includes a delay time other than the delay time caused by a transmission of a signal sound to the sound space, and the response signal cannot theoretically reach the signal delay amount calculating unit during the delay time. Therefore, the delay time calculating unit does not perform the comparison in a no-response period in which the response signal has not reached the delay time calculating unit yet. Thereby, it can be prevented that the signal delay time is erroneously calculated by an effect of a background noise during the no-response period.

Techniques for transmitting data with persistent interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. A station (e.g., a base station or a terminal) may observe high interference and may send a request to reduce interference to interfering stations. The request may be valid for a time period covering multiple response periods. Each interfering station may grant or dismiss the request in each response period, may dismiss the request by transmitting at full power, and may grant the request by transmitting at lower than full power. The station may receive a response from each interfering station indicating grant or dismissal of the request by that interfering station in each response period. The station may estimate SINR based on the response received from each interfering station and may exchange data with another station based on the estimated SINR. Persistent interference mitigation may reduce signaling overhead and improve resource utilization and performance.
