  • Enhanced modulation detection
    Patent number: 8804876
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for demodulating a block, the block including a plurality of bursts. The apparatus comprises a demodulator configured to demodulate the plurality of bursts and a modulation detector configured to detect a modulation scheme for a current burst in the plurality of bursts and to determine whether there is a high probability that the detected modulation scheme is correct. The modulation detector instructs the demodulator to demodulate each burst subsequent to the current burst in the plurality of bursts based on the detected modulation scheme when the modulation detector determines a high probability that the modulation scheme is correct.
