Abstract
A blind rate determination system generates syndromes for a received symbol stream and, based on the syndromes, calculates a confidence metric associated with possible data rates. The confidence metrics are compared to one another and to a threshold and the data rate associated with the best confidence metric is selected as the data rate at which the symbol stream was encoded.
