Abstract:
1. A method for adaptive, error-tolerant pattern recognition in transmission of digital data packets, the method comprising: (a) detecting an actual data pattern, including several bits and at least one permanent erroneous bit, and comparing the detected actual data pattern with a theoretical data pattern comprising a synchronization pattern; (b) detecting erroneous or correctly recognized bits in the detected actual data pattern; (c) adding up the number of erroneous or correctly recognized bits to create an error sum reflecting the number of errors present in the detected actual data pattern; (d) comparing the error sum with a specifiable and changeable admissible maximum number of errors allowable for determining that the detected actual pattern matches the synchronization pattern accounting for errors; and (e) dynamically changing the admissible maximum number of errors in response to system conditions until a synchronization is achieved with the actual data pattern including the at least one permanent erroneous bit, wherein the number of the admissible maximum number of errors can be increased or decreased.
