Abstract
There is provided a receiver comprising a processing unit, a communications unit for receiving frames including training sequence symbols or pilot symbols, the processing unit being configured to use Cyclic Redundancy Check for detecting errors in the received frames. When no errors in a given frame are discovered on the basis of the Cyclic Redundancy Check, the processing unit is further configured to define a TSC, training sequence code, bit error rate for the bursts of the given frame on the basis of the training sequence symbols or the pilot symbols; to define an upper limit for the TSC bit error rate; and to determine the given frame to be bad when the TSC bit error rate for the bursts of the given frame is greater than the upper limit of the TSC bit error rate.
