1. A method to demodulate a signal comprising:

  • receiving modulated data by an antenna;

    storing the received modulated data in a buffer;

    configuring a first datapath from several predefined configurations, wherein a type of data encoding for the received modulated data stored in the buffer for a first user establishes a protocol that determines a configuration for the first datapath;

    configuring a second datapath from the several predefined configurations based on a protocol for the type of data encoding for the received modulated data stored in the buffer for the second user; and

    operating the first and second datapaths in parallel to demodulate the received modulated data of the first user and the second user.
