ABSTRACT:
In a wireless local area network, predetermined interference-detection sequences of signal points, known at both the transmitter and receiver, are transmitted over a plurality of hopping frequencies along with a sequence of data signal points taken from a modulated code exhibiting built-in diversity. In the receiver, the extent to which there are errors in the received interference-detection signal points is used as a mechanism for identifying the likely occurrence of strong interference. If there are no, or few, errors, decoding proceeds normally. However, if the number of errors is above a predetermined threshold, it is assumed that the transmitted signal was subjected to significant interference and an erasure is declared. This is used as "side" information by the decoder to improve its ability to accurately recover data in the presence of interference.
