Abstract

The present invention comprises methods and apparatus for determining the rate at which data was encoded when such data is received at a receiver. According to the present invention, the rate is determined by computing, for a plurality of possible rates, a final test statistic based on a plurality of measures. The final test statistics are compared and based upon certain selection criteria (for example, without limiting the foregoing, which final test statistic corresponds the highest value), the rate is selected. In the preferred embodiment, the measures comprise statistics based on the cyclical redundancy check, Viterbi metrics, re-encoded symbol error rate, and distance to next largest Viterbi metric.
