Abstract
Systems and methods for locating a known multi-symbol syncword in a received signal are disclosed, wherein a potential syncword is located in a first batch of samples of the received signal which has a correlation energy with the known syncword which exceeds a first detection threshold. A correlation energy with the known syncword for a group of samples in a second batch of samples of the received signal is determined, where the group of samples in the second batch of samples are selected based on the location of the potential syncword within the first batch of samples. The correlation energy associated with the group of samples in the second batch of samples is compared with a second detection threshold that is higher than the first detection threshold. The location of the known syncword may be identified based upon the comparison of the correlation energy associated with the group of samples in the second batch of samples with the second detection threshold.
