Abstract

A system and a method are characterized in that the method of detection can be configured by varying a size and/or a position of a time slot to be taken into consideration for the detection and/or by varying relevant bits of the counts to be compared. This makes it possible to individually adapt the detection method to various or varying requirements at any time and with a minimum of expenditure required.
