Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for sending at least a first data signal and a second data signal, the data being divided into data blocks of fixed size including a header field of predetermined size, the data signals being sent to at least one data processing device adapted to apply a cyclic autocorrelation function with parameter k enabling the first and second data signals to be identified. The value of the parameter k is a function of a ratio between the size of the data blocks and the predetermined size of the header field. The method includes modifying the size of the header field of the data blocks before sending the first data signal, the value of the parameter k and the size of the data blocks remaining unchanged. A method is also provided for processing signals sent in accordance with the sending method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of sending data performed by a sending device and comprising: sending data by at least a first data signal and a second data signal, said data being divided into data blocks of identical size including a header field, which is a cyclic prefix and has a predetermined size, said data signals being sent to at least one data processing device adapted to apply a cyclic autocorrelation function with parameter k to the data blocks of the first and se…
