Patent ID: 7752660

Claim:
A reception device configured to receive a transmission signal adhering to a communications protocol, wherein a transmission device sends reception data to the reception device, the reception device comprising: means for receiving the transmission signal; means for evaluating the received transmission signal; means for emitting a bit sequence received in the transmission signal, wherein the bit sequence contains bits of reception data transmitted from the transmission device and bits of interference caused by an interference to the transmission signals; means for checking whether the received bit sequence infringes a rule of the communications protocol; wherein the reception device is designed to continue with the reception of the transmission signal and the checking of the received bit sequence following the occurrence of an infringement of the communications protocol; and means for checking whether a first segment of bits of the received bit sequence are already received before an expiry of a lead period that starts from the start of a reception period, wherein a first rule of the communications protocol is infringed, and wherein the reception device rejects the first segment of bits of the received bit sequence and continues to receive the transmission signal and to check another segment of bits of the received bit sequence that are received following expiry of the lead period.
