Claim Text:
1. A method of handling a signal transmitted through a human body, the signal being coded with a coding scheme and associated clock rate, the method being performed in a signal handling device and comprising: receiving, by a receiver, said signal, forwarding said received signal toward a signal sampler; sampling at least a section of the forwarded signal with a sample rate that is higher than the clock rate of the coding scheme, forming at least one series of samples of the forwarded signal, where the samples of a series have been sampled at a sampling position periodically recurring according to the clock rate, investigating if said at least one series fulfils a data sequence detection criterion, the data sequence detection criterion comprising one of a bit error rate or a packet error rate, and setting a sampling position for which a series of samples fulfils the data sequence detection criterion to be an operative sampling position, the operative sampling position comprising a position used in decoding data in the forwarded signal.
