Abstract:
1. A method for communication, comprising: receiving a composite signal, which carries data at a first data rate, using a receiver that includes multiple demodulators operating at second data rates that are lower than the first data rate, wherein the composite signal comprises multiple sub-signals that are interleaved in a time domain and are separated by boundary indicators, each boundary indicator instructing a respective demodulator selected from among the multiple demodulators to demodulate a respective sub-signal that follows the boundary indicator in the composite signal; automatically detecting the boundary indicators between the sub-signals in the composite signal; responsively to detecting each boundary indicator, switching to demodulate the respective sub-signal that follows the detected boundary indicator by the respective demodulator as instructed by the detected boundary indicator; and combining multiple output data streams generated by the multiple demodulators so as to reconstruct the data.
