Abstract:
1. A receiver to receive and process a plurality of physical layer frames of a received wireless signal, the receiver comprising: a physical layer frame synchronization module configured to identify one or more start of frame locations for the plurality of physical layer frames to achieve frame synchronization; 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; 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: accumulate generated error values from one or more physical layer frames; and determine that a false synchronization lock has occurred when the accumulated error value exceeds a threshold.
