Adaptive packet detection for detecting packets in a wireless medium
First Claim
1. A wireless receiver that receives a received signal from a wireless channel and detects from the received signal the presence of a packet, the wireless receiver comprising:
- a packet detector having an adaptive packet detection process;
logic to process the received signal when the packet detector indicates presence of a packet;
a false detection determiner for determining whether the signal indeed represents a packet; and
logic for adjusting the adaptive packet detection process when a false detection metric is outside a target range.

Abstract
In a packet detector, one or more tests are performed for packet detection according to packet detection parameters associated with the one or more tests, a rate of false detection is measured, and the packet detection parameters are adjusted accordingly to reduce the rate of false detection. The rate of false detection might be determined by analyzing post-detection and processing of a signal deemed to be a signal representing a packet for a failure of decoding indicative of a false detection. Such analysis might include testing for a failed SFD search, training symbol anomalies, poor conditioning of metrics used to determine frequency offset and OFDM timing, incorrect data fields, or the like.
