  • Sample-correlated bit-level synchronization
    Publication number: 20070135079
    Abstract: A data receiver is activated at periodic intervals to receive data transmitted by any one of a plurality of transmitters having non-overlapping times of transmission. The receiver output is processed to determine the presence of a modulation type and to achieve bit and frame synchronization. One or more messages are received and the data receiver subsequently placed in a de-activated mode for reducing power consumption until the next activation.
