Collision detection method

A wireless device comprising:

• an antenna configured to communicate wireless signals;
• a transceiver operably connected to the antenna, wherein the transceiver is configured to:
• detect a first RF packet via the antenna;
• synchronize to and demodulate the first RF packet to create demodulated bits;
• store the demodulated bits of the first RF packet in a buffer;
• detect a second RF packet, wherein to detect the second RF packet comprises to detect an increase in a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) greater than or equal to a threshold during receipt of or demodulation of the first RF packet;
• upon detection of the second RF packet, synchronize to the second RF packet and clear the demodulated bits from the buffer;
• demodulate the second RF packet;
• and
• store the demodulated bits from the second RF packet in the buffer.
