Claim One:
1. A method for receiving a packet from sources using different packet transmission protocols, comprising: receiving packets until a packet having a known preamble is received, wherein the receiving comprises parallel processing that concurrently seeks to detect each of a plurality of different preambles associated with a plurality of known modulation techniques, respectively, within each of the received packets; identifying a modulation technique from among the plurality of known modulation techniques, wherein the identifying is based at least in part on the known preamble of the received packet; and demodulating the received packet based on the identified modulation technique, wherein the demodulating is performed within a state selected from among a plurality of states, each of the plurality of states associated with a respective modulation technique; wherein each of the plurality of known modulation techniques utilizes a same frequency hopping pattern.
