1. An apparatus for robust packet detection in a packet-based wireless system, the apparatus comprising:
- a matched filter that is to produce at least one match indication indicative of a match between at least one signal received in at least one band and a reference signal, the at least one signal includes a first signal and a second signal, and the at least one band includes a first band and a second band;
a multipath combiner that is to produce at least one multipath combined signal based upon the at least one match indication;
wherein the at least one match indication includes a first match indication based on the first signal received in the first band and a second signal indication based on the second signal received in the second band, the least one multipath combined signal includes a first multipath combined signal and a second multipath combined signal, the first multipath combined based upon the first match indication, the second multipath combined signal based upon the second match indication;
memory that is to store the first multipath combined signal;
a per sample averaging unit that is to produce an average multipath combined signal based upon a per sample average of the first multipath combined signal and the second multipath combined signal; and
a peak detector that is to identify a first peak in the average multipath combined signal to determine whether a packet reception is occurring.

Abstract
A method. The method includes producing a first signal match indication based on at least one match indication indicative of a match between at least one signal received in at least one band and a reference signal. The method also includes producing a first signal multipath combined signal based upon the first signal match indication, and detecting a first peak in the first multipath combined signal.
