Method, apparatus and system for use in controlling transmission power during wireless communication

A method for use in identifying a frame type of one or more frames wirelessly communication, comprising:

• receiving a wireless communication containing a frame having a plurality of bearer bits;
• determining when the frame passes a predefined quality parameter;
• analyzing at least a portion of the bearer bits within the frame when the frame does not pass the predefined quality parameter;
• determining when the frame is an erased frame based on the analyzing of the portion of the bearer bits within the frame;
• wherein the analyzing the portion of the bits comprising
• counting a number of zero bearer bits within at least a tail end of the frame;
• determining when the number of zero bits exceeds a predefined threshold;
• and
• defining the frame as an erased frame when the number of zero bits exceeds the predefined threshold.

A method for enabling wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving a wireless communication containing a frame having a plurality of bits;
• determining when the frame satisfies a quality check;
• analyzing at least a portion of the bits within the frame when the frame does not satisfy the quality check;
• determining when the at least the portion of the bits analyzed exceeds a threshold;
• and
• determining when the frame comprises an expected sequence of bits;
• when the analyzing of the at least the portion of the bits fails to exceed the threshold and
• identifying the frame as the DTX when the frame does not comprise the expected sequence.
