1. A method comprising:
receiving a multi-tone signal by a first fourier transform (FFT) logic;
outputting symbols for each carrier of the multi-tone signal;
computing a complex phase difference between a current symbol and a previous symbol;
separating a real value component (R) from a corresponding imaginary value component (I) forming the complex phase difference;
determining at least one boundary constraint line of a complex phase map for a selected demodulation scheme; and
computing an arithmetic combination of the real value component and the corresponding imaginary value component to detect
whether a series of bits falls within a selected region of the complex phase map defined by the at least one boundary constraint
line.
