Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for enhancing the probability of substantially error-free reception of a signal including a sequence of discrete bits with the aid of a time-variable threshold value, and wherein each bit has a predetermined duration, and the threshold value may change during the bit duration, the steps include comparing at least a selected one of the received bits a multiple number of times with the threshold values, so as to establish the probable validity of the received bits in dependence of the comparison results.
