Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data to remote terminals in a communication system, the method comprising: encoding a series of transmission packets destined for a remote terminal; mapping the series of transmission packets to I/Q symbols; interleaving the series of transmission packets; inserting periodic unique transmission identifiers within the series of transmission packets following the interleaving of the series of transmission packets, such that each unique transmission identifier of the periodic unique transmission identifiers is associated with a portion of the series of transmission packets; modulating and transmitting the series of transmission packets including the periodic unique transmission identifiers over a wireless channel; receiving a series of received packets including received periodic unique identifiers at the remote terminal, wherein the series of received packets are associated with the series of transmission packets, and wherein the received periodic unique identifiers are associated with the periodic unique transmission identifiers; correlating the received periodic unique identifiers with a copy of the periodic unique transmission identifiers stored at the remote terminal; determining that the correlation is below a predetermined threshold for at least a portion of the periodic unique transmission identifiers; removing the received periodic unique identifiers from the received series of packets; and modifying operation of remote terminal for a portion of the series of received packets associated with the portion of the periodic unique transmission identifiers.
