Abstract
System and method for improving the detection performance of a wirelessly transmitted signal. A preferred embodiment comprises specifying a desired response for missed channel detection and false alarm probabilities for a plurality of signal qualities and determining if a channel detection threshold is based on missed channel detection or false alarm probabilities for the plurality of signal qualities. A signal quality estimate of a channel can be inferred from a signal quality measurement of a second channel, wherein the channel and the second channel are sourced by a single transmitter. The channel detection threshold can be adjusted based upon the previously determined required response and the signal quality estimate of the channel.
