    a controller;

    wherein the controller is configured to;

    extract information identifying a group of data packets from the data packets within a first burst;

    calculate a burst length and burst interval for the series on the basis of the instances of time at which data packets are received by the receiver;

    determine a further instance of time at which a subsequent burst corresponding to the extracted information in the series is expected to be received based on at least one of said burst length and burst interval; and

    operate the receiver to receive the subsequent burst corresponding to the extracted information by selectively receiving the data stream.
