Abstract: A method and controller for detecting an unauthorized access point in a wireless communication network includes a first step of generating (200) a probe identity that is unused in the wireless communication network. A next step includes informing (202) adopted access points in the communication network of this generated probe identity, and that packets from this generated probe identity should be ignored. A next step includes broadcasting (204) at least one probe request using the generated probe identity. A next step includes detecting (206) if there are any probe responses to the at least one probe request, indicating an unauthorized access point. A next step includes providing an alert (214, 216, 218) if an unauthorized access point is detected.

Abstract: A bit rate processor in a wireless system includes a front end processor to process physical channel data and to generate encoded transport channel data, a transport channel buffer to hold the encoded transport channel data, and a back end processor to process the encoded transport channel data from the transport channel buffer and to generate decoded transport channel bits. The front end process may include a frame buffer that receives the physical channel data, a first stage to de-map the physical channel data, an intermediate frame buffer that receives the de-mapped physical channel data, and a second stage to process the de-mapped physical channel data and to provide the encoded transport channel data. The back end processor may include a third stage, including a scaling circuit to scale the encoded transport channel data, a decoder to decode the scaled transport channel data, a CRC checker and an output buffer.
