Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for protecting a receiver configured to receive a plurality of contemporaneous spread spectrum signal bursts from a denial of service attack. The method includes the operation of detecting a burst transmission that includes a random burst number. The burst transmission can be analyzed to determine a denial of service statistic based on the random burst number. The burst transmission is processed when the denial of service statistic is within a predetermined threshold.
