Patent ID: 7130362

Claim:
A wireless communication device capable of receiving data using non-standard data rates in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication device comprises: receiver section operably coupled to convert a radio frequency signal into a digital signal; demodulation mapping module operably coupled to demodulate the digital signal to produce demodulated data; rate determination module operably coupled to determine a standard coding rate, when the radio frequency signal was modulated at one of a plurality of standard coding rates and to determine a non-standard coding rate when the radio frequency signal was modulated at the non-standard coding rate; decoding module operably coupled to decode the demodulated data based on the standard coding rate to produce decoded data when the radio frequency signal was modulated at one of a plurality of standard coding rates, and to decode the demodulated data based on the non-standard coding rate to produce decoded data when the radio frequency signal was modulated at the non-standard coding rate.
