SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL DETECTION AND RECOVERY FROM FALSE TRIGGERS

摘要

A system and method for detecting a synchronization (sync) signal in a communication signal are disclosed. A received communication signal is stored in a memory and portions thereof are read from the memory and monitored to detect the sync signal. Wh en a detected sync signal is determined to be invalid, previously read portions o f the received communication signal, preferably beginning at a portion of the received sign al immediately after a start of the detected sync signal, are again read and monitored to detect the sync signal. Such reading and monitoring of previously read portions of a receive d signal provide for recovery from so-called false triggering based on invalid sync signals.
