Field unit and method implemented in a field unit

摘要

A communications system (100) improves performance of detecting a signal ( Fig. 2A ) having indication of a request to change communications states by making at least two positive identifications of the request in a given time frame. In one particular application, a base station (25) determines a request to change communications states with reasonably high probability of detection and a reasonably low probability of false detection. The system (100) has a reduced number of erroneous communications states, such as erroneous traffic channel allocations (55).
