Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving by a first device of a wireless network a plurality of bursts of a transmission signal block transmitted by a second device during a plurality of time increments; calculating by the first device a bit error probability for each of n time increments, where n is an integer and the n time increments are time intervals in which a last n bursts of the transmission signal block are expected to occur; calculating by the first device an average bit error probability based on the bit error probabilities for the n time increments; comparing by the first device the average bit error probability to a threshold; determining that the transmission signal block was fully transmitted by the second device based at least in part on the results of said comparing; and transmitting to the second device bit error probability data derived at least in part from the transmission signal block.
