Abstract: In a communications system having transmissions containing certain information-of-interest (147, 149) at predetermined intervals in the transmission, there is provided a method for isolating and processing that information-of-interest. The method is characterized by sensing the start of a transmission (141) and isolating for processing as the information-of-interest, the information received about instant(s) predeterminally removed in time (145) from the sensed start of transmission (141). Thus, the information-of-interest is isolated principally on the basis of elapsed time. The method for isolating and processing that information-of-interest is further characterized by sensing (249) the start of a transmission from the received signal power of the transmission exceeding a predetermined threshold (259); AGCing the transmission (233) and attenuating the AGC'd transmission from a maximum level to a desired level before the information-of-interest is expected to arrive; isolating for processing as the information-of-interest, the information received about instant(s) predeterminally removed in time from the sensed start of transmission, by timing (263) the expected interval between the instant that the start of the transmission is sensed and the predetermined instant that the information-in-interest should arrive (whereby the information-of-interest is isolated principally on the basis of elapsed time); tagging the information (247) isolated about that instant for processing; and beginning processing (275) with information just preceeding the isolated information (whereby the reliability of the information detection is enhanced by one-to-several bits).

Abstract: A method is provided for isolating and processing certain informationof-interest received by a receiver in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) communications system having a receiver and a transmitter. The informationof-interest is transmitted at predetermined intervals. The receiver receives a transmission of signals containing the information-of-interest transmitted from the transmitter. The start of the transmission is sensed from the received signals. The receiver isolates signals received after a predetermined period elapses after the start of the transmission is sensed so as to include the information-of-interest in the isolated signals. Then, the isolated signals including the information-of-interest are processed. In the preferred embodiment, the receiver automatically controls the gain of an amplifier amplifying the received signals in response to the signal power of the received signals. Automatic gain control values of the amplifier are sampled for a predetermined period after the start of the transmission is sensed. A fixed automatic gain control value is determined in response to the sampled automatic gain control values, and the receiver holes the automatic gain control value at the fixed value after the predetermined period elapses until the transmission ofthe information-of-interest ends. Furthermore, the receiver digitizes the received signals, and tags the digitized signals which were digitized from signals received before the start of the transmission is sensed to ignore the tagged signals in processing the information-of-interest.
