Abstract
A method for receiving an encoded integer includes acquiring a digitized waveform including a first plurality of pulses distributed among a second plurality of time slots, locating each of the pulses in the digitized waveform, computing a confidence value for each of the pulses, selecting a subset of the plurality of pulses, the subset including pulses having low confidence values computed, generating a set of unique waveforms corresponding to various combinations of the subset of pulses selected, computing a cross-correlation between each of the waveforms generated and the digitized waveform acquired, and selecting the waveform having the highest cross-correlation computed.
