Abstract:
1. A processor-implemented method of processing a received signal including i) a payload portion and ii) a signaling portion, the signaling portion of the received signal being a single carrier signal, the payload portion of the received signal being a single carrier signal or a multiple carrier signal, the method comprising: receiving the signaling portion of the received signal at a sampling rate; detecting from the signaling portion of the received signal whether the payload portion of the received signal is a single carrier signal or a multiple carrier signal; receiving the payload portion of the received signal at the sampling rate; demodulating the payload portion of the received signal in a single carrier mode in response to the payload portion of the received signal being a single carrier signal; demodulating the payload portion of the received signal in a multiple carrier mode in response to the payload portion of the received signal being a multiple carrier signal; and storing data from the demodulated payload portion of the received signal in a computer-readable memory; wherein the sampling rate of the received signal is a common chip rate of both a single carrier modulator and a multiple carrier modulator of a system that transmitted the received signal.
