Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods of processing transmissions in a wireless communication system to detect whether a transmission unit contains transmitted data, systems for processing transmissions in a digital communications system to detect the same, receivers for processing transmissions in a wireless communications system and computer readable media implementing a method for processing the same. In one embodiment, a method of processing transmissions in a wireless communication system to detect whether a transmission unit contains transmitted data includes: generating an averaged function of bit reliability indicators from a plurality of received samples and applying a test to compare an average of ln cosh(·) (natural logarithm of the hyperbolic cosine) values for the reliability indicators, with a factor proportional to an average signal-to-disturbance ratio of the plurality of samples to determine if the transmission unit contains transmitted data.
