Abstract
A data transmission includes a sequence of information symbols followed by zero or more non-information symbols, which carry no power. A receiver determines the size of a data block, i.e., the number of information symbols in the transmission, by calculating a series of transition indicators. Each transition indicator represents a likelihood that a particular symbol position corresponds to a transition between the information symbols and non-information symbols of the transmission.
