Patent ID: 8000426

Claim:
A machine implemented method for constructing an oversampled waveform for a set of signals received by a receiver, the method comprising: receiving a first mob of sample values from the receiver, wherein the first mob comprises an r (where r is an integer greater than one) number of groups of sample values, wherein each group of sample values comprises an s number of sample values for an s number of time intervals with each sample value representing a signal sample taken during a corresponding time interval, wherein each of the sample values in the first mob is taken by the receiver at a first sampling point within each time interval, wherein each group of sample values in the first mob is received separately, and wherein the groups of sample values in the first mob are not received in any predetermined order; receiving a second mob of sample values from the receiver, wherein the second mob comprises an r number of groups of sample values, wherein each group of sample values comprises an s number of sample values for an s number of time intervals with each sample value representing a signal sample taken during a corresponding time interval, wherein each of the sample values in the second mob is taken by the receiver at a second sampling point within each time interval, wherein each group of sample values in the second mob is received separately, and wherein the groups of sample values in the second mob are not received in any predetermined order; associating each group in the second mob with a corresponding group in the first mob; determining, for each group in the first mob, which other group in the first mob follows that group to derive an overall sequential ordering of the groups in the first mob; and constructing an oversampled waveform for the set of signals received by the receiver, wherein the oversampled waveform is constructed using at least the sequential ordering of the groups in the first mob, the groups of sample values in the first mob, and the groups of sample values in the second mob.
