Patent number: 12088335Abstract: Techniques for quickly and accurately determining whether a channel is being used for transmission of data using one of a plurality of communications protocols for low power signals using random data of a packet are disclosed. The techniques increase sensitivity and reduce the false alarm rate for a wide range of signal and noise levels. A noise detection technique uses an adaptive window size for fast noise detection that increases the rate of scanning channels during a signal identification period. In a BLE1M detection mode, detection of clusters of zero frequency deviation are used to reduce the false detection rate. Adaptive Zigbee symbol detection improves detection sensitivity beyond ?97 dBm. The techniques use a chip-based differential to generate frequency deviation samples for Zigbee detection or data filtering frequency deviation samples generated using sample-based differentials based on an oversampled received signal to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Qiang Li, Yan Zhou
