Abstract:
1. A method for encoding a wireless control signal, comprising: receiving a set of information bits; ascertaining a desired false alarm probability for the information bits; encoding the set of information bits with a first error control code so as to create a first set of encoded bits; encoding the first set of encoded bits with a second error control code so as to create a second set of encoded bits; determining whether to partition either the set of information bits or the first set of encoded bits into a plurality of streams of bits; partitioning either the set of information bits or the first set of encoded bits as a function of the desired false alarm probability; modulating the second set of encoded bits as a plurality of beacon tones; and transmitting the plurality of beacon tones, each of the plurality of beacon tones transmitted with a corresponding beacon signal strength, each of the corresponding beacon signal strengths being higher than each of a plurality signal strengths corresponding to each of a plurality of non-beacon tones.
