20100029232 | Method for Searching for Signals Among Interference Signals in a Multi-Channel Radio Receiver - In a method for searching for signals among interference signals in a multi-channel radio receiver, at least two different data signals are transmitted on at least one physical channel of a radio system to a common receiver. The search for a signal is initiated on any channel, starting with a sequential search of a useful signal by measuring the current signal strength in the form of the RSSI value; a search is made for a signal criterion of the signal and when said criterion has been identified, the measured RSSI value is compared with a predefined RSSI threshold value; if the RSSI threshold value is exceeded, the search for a signal is switched to a search for a data frame and if a data frame is found, the useful data is read; if no signal criterion is identified, if the RSSI threshold value is not exceeded and if no data frame is found, the procedure is interrupted and a new search operation is initiated once a new RSSI threshold value has been defined. The invention is particularly suitable for radio transmission systems in motor vehicles to implement RKE and TPMS functions and for multi-channel transmissions, used for example in remote metering and remote control systems. | 02-04-2010 |
