Abstract
A method for receiving data packets in a communication network comprising scanning a channel for a preamble during an acquisition search window, detecting the preamble during the acquisition search window, assigning a reception acquisition search window for receipt of a data packet including a data preamble and a data portion, coordinating the transmission of the data packet with the reception acquisition search window, detecting the data preamble during the reception acquisition search window, and initiating receipt of the data portion upon detection of the data preamble.
Claims11
A method for receiving data packets in a communication network, comprising:
- scanning a channel, by a receiver, for a preamble during an acquisition search window;
- detecting the preamble during the acquisition search window;
- assigning a reception acquisition search window for receipt of a data packet including a data preamble and a data portion;
- coordinating the transmission of the data packet with the reception acquisition search window;
- detecting the data preamble during the reception acquisition search window;
- initiating receipt of the data portion upon detection of the data preamble;
- wherein the acquisition search window is periodically repeated following a length comprising the sum of the acquisition search window and the preamble.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for receiving data packets in a communication network, the method comprising:
- periodically scanning a channel, by a receiver, for a preamble during an acquisition search window;
- detecting the preamble during the acquisition search window;
- assigning a reception acquisition search window for receipt of a data packet including a data preamble and a data portion;
- coordinating the transmission of the data packet with the reception acquisition search window;
- detecting the data preamble during the reception acquisition search window;
- initiating receipt of the data portion upon detection of the data preamble;
- and
- wherein the acquisition search window is periodically repeated following a length comprising the sum of the acquisition search window and the preamble.
