Abstract
There is provided a correlation method for spread spectrum signals. Correlation peaks in packet headers included in the spread spectrum signals are detected by averaging known signals that repeat in the packet headers. Data corresponding to the spread spectrum signals is recovered based on the correlation peaks.
