1. A communications system providing for discrimination between different types of encoded communications traffic signals, the different types of encoded communications traffic signals being encoded in accordance with respective error correction codes comprising:

  • a plurality of decoders for decoding the encoded communications traffic signals, each decoder providing a confidence factor representing a degree of correlation between the encoded communications traffic signals and a respective encoded traffic signal postulate, each decoder including;

    means for comparing an encoded traffic signal postulate with said encoded communications traffic signal, andmeans for generating a confidence factor based on said comparison, andselection means for selecting one of said plurality of decoders based on the plurality of confidence factors so that said encoded communications traffic signals are decoded only by said selected decoder.
