1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a receiver unit, only a portion of an ID packet that is less than a full ID packet;
processing the portion of the ID packet;
correlating the processed portion of the ID packet with an address of the receiver unit to generate a correlation result; and
comparing the correlation result to a correlation threshold.
