Abstract
A chirp spread spectrum (CSS) receiver may reject, based on a data alignment chirp that includes an identifier that is a mismatch to a preconfigured identifier, a message early and before fully receiving/decoding the message. A receiver may receive a sequence of training chirps for symbol alignment followed by a single opposite chirp for data alignment. Training chirps may be processed through a fast-Fourier transform (FFT) and the resulting values accumulated. The receiver may align, based on the received chirps of the preamble and the accumulated values exceeding the threshold, its symbol reception. Using this symbol alignment, the receiver may await a single opposite chirp after the sequence of training chirps. The single opposite chirp may indicate data alignment and comprise an encoded identifier. The receiver may reject the message and terminate further message processing based on the encoded identifier being a mismatch to a preconfigured identifier.
