Abstract

A method for detecting the mode of a telecommunications signal is provided. The method receives the telecommunications signal and contemporaneously evaluates the telecommunications signal for compliance with at least two signal modes. When the evaluation indicates that the signal conforms to a first mode, the signal is processed as a first mode signal. When the evaluation indicates that the signal conforms to a second mode, the signal is processed as a second mode signal.
