Abstract
A system and method manages a stream of data to receive a data packet among a set of potentially colliding data packets. The stream of data is monitored with a first detector level to recognize a potential first data packet having a bit sequence that matches a known bit sequence. In response to a recognition of a potential first data packet by the first detector level, the stream of data is monitored with a second detector level to recognize a potential second data packet having a bit sequence that matches a known bit sequence while the first detector level is engaged with the potential first data packet.
