In an embodiment, a receiver includes an antenna configured to receive a communication frame. The communication frame may include an acquisition code symbol sequence, which in turn may include a plurality of acquisition code symbols. In an embodiment, an acquisition code symbol includes a subcode sequence having a plurality of subcodes. A receiver also may include a correlation calculator coupled to the antenna. The correlation calculator may be configured to determine a correlation between the subcodes of the received communication frame and a stored version of the subcodes. The correlation may be used in determining a timing offset for further processing of the communication frame.

Signal acquisition methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems

A flow of data ( ) is regulated in a communication system ( ). A data rate is established in each of a data source ( ) and a data sink ( ). The data ( ) is transmitted by the data source ( ) and written into a buffer ( ) at the source data rate, then read from the buffer ( ) and received by the data sink ( ) at the sink data rate. The level ( ) of data ( ) in the buffer ( ) is monitored, and a rate-control signal ( ) is dispatched to either the data source ( ) or sink ( ) when it is determined the buffer data level ( ) is decreasing or increasing while at a lower or upper data-level threshold ( ), respectively. One of the data rates is adjusted in response to a rate-control signal ( ).
