Abstract
An apparatus includes a radio-frequency (RF) receiver for receiving RF signals. The RF receiver includes a plurality of modulation signal detectors (MSDs) to generate a plurality of detection signals when a plurality of RF signals modulated using a plurality of modulation schemes are detected. The RF receiver further includes a controller to cause reception of the plurality of RF signals in response to the plurality of detection signals.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a radio-frequency (RF) receiver for receiving RF signals, the RF receiver comprising:
- a plurality of modulation signal detectors (MSDs) to generate a plurality of detection signals when a plurality of RF signals modulated using a plurality of modulation schemes are detected;
- and
- a controller to cause reception of the plurality of RF signals in response to the plurality of detection signals.
An apparatus for communication using RF signals, the apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter to transmit a modulated RF signal, wherein transmitted information is modulated onto the modulated RF signal using one of a plurality of modulation schemes;
- and
- a receiver to receive packets from received modulated RF signals, the receiver comprising a plurality of modulation scheme detectors (MSDs) to generate a plurality of detection signals, wherein a packet is received by configuring the receiver based on a detection signal in the plurality of detection signals, wherein the detection signal is obtained from the packet.
A method of operating a radio-frequency (RF) receiver to receive RF signals, the method comprising:
- generating, by using a plurality of modulation signal detectors (MSDs) to generate a plurality of detection signals when a plurality of RF signals modulated using a plurality of modulation schemes are detected;
- and
- causing reception of the plurality of RF signals in response to the plurality of detection signals.
