  • Method and system for efficiently acquiring CDMA based overhead channel data frames
    Patent number: 6816474
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for constructing a data message in a communications device including a processor configured to process sequentially transmitted messages. Each of the messages requires a predetermined number of data frames. The technique of the instant invention includes receiving portions of at least two of the transmitted messages in the processor. Each of the at least two received portions includes a subset of the predetermined number of data frames and excludes a remainder of the predetermined number of data frames. The subset of one of the received portions substantially matches the remainder of the other portion. Next, a determination is made as to whether a total number of the received subsets equals the predetermined number. Finally, a synthesized messaged is produced when the total number of the subsets is at least equal to the predetermined number. The synthesized message is formed of a combination of the subsets from each of the received portions.
