Abstract:
1. A terminal to process a plurality of physical layer frames of a received wireless signal, the terminal comprising: a receiver module configured to receive a wireless signal comprising a plurality of physical layer frames; a physical layer frame synchronization module, communicatively coupled with the receiver module, and configured to identify one or more start of frame locations for the plurality of physical layer frames to achieve frame synchronization, wherein identifying a start of frame location is dependent only on a physical layer header associated with the start of frame location; a physical layer header decoder module, communicatively coupled with the physical layer frame synchronization module, and configured to decode a physical layer header associated with an identified start of frame location of a selected one of the plurality of physical layer frames according to a first decoding technique to identify signaling information attributable to a payload of the selected frame; an error identification module, communicatively coupled with the physical layer header decoder module, and configured to: an error accumulator module, communicatively coupled with the error identification module, and configured to:
