Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing packet processing is described. A signal having a preamble sequence is received. A detection parameter estimate is derived from the preamble sequence. The detection parameter estimate is evaluated to process at least one packet in the signal.
Claims18
A method of performing packet processing, comprising:
- receiving a signal having a preamble sequence comprising a plurality of subsymbols;
- deriving a detection parameter estimate from a magnitude of an estimate of the autocorrelation of adjacent subsymbols within the preamble sequence;
- and
- evaluating the detection parameter estimate to process at least one packet in said signal.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method of performing packet processing, comprising:
- receiving a signal having a preamble sequence comprising a plurality of subsymbols;
- deriving a detection parameter estimate from a magnitude of an estimate of the autocorrelation of adjacent subsymbols within the preamble sequence;
- and
- evaluating the detection parameter estimate to process at least one packet in said signal.
