Patent ID: RE42676

Claim:
A method in an electronic device having a receiver for detecting a boundary of an information element, the method comprising: receiving a repetition-coded signal with the receiver , which is modulated with information elements, wherein a group of symbols forms one information element; forming reference values on the basis of the received signal with a filtering means of the electronic device ; forming elements of at least one vector on the basis of the reference values with a vector-forming means of the electronic device , in which the number of elements of at least one vector equalling the number of symbols in said group of symbols forming the information element; forming elements of a determination vector on the basis of said elements of said at least one vector with a vector-processing means of the electronic device ; searching the largest value of the elements of said determination vector with a determination means of the electronic device , and using an index of the largest value of the element of said determination vector for indicating the boundary of the information element.
