Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2380909A] A device for receiving multiplexed data signals (eg. TDMA data frames) can identify which channel or format the data originates from via detection of a change of power level of the signal. A power monitor continually monitors the magnitude of soft decisions in the data over the course of a data frame. A change in power level of greater than a given threshold value can be taken to represent a switch to a different data channel or format, so that several time slots from different channels can be present in one frame. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) can be used to ensure that each frame is correctly synchronised.
