Abstract
A method for decoding a set of packets asynchronously on same nominal carrier frequency transmitted over a common communication medium, receives a signal including a combination of the set of packets modified with noise of the common communication medium, each packet includes a preamble common to all packets in the set and a payload unique for at least some packets in the set. The method determines, using a sparse recovery, a frequency offset of the transmission of each packet from the carrier frequency, a time offset of the transmission of each packet from a common point in time, and a channel gain corresponding to the transmission of each packet over a channel in the common communication medium and decodes the payloads of the packets in the set using the frequency offsets, the time offsets, and the channel gains.
