In Bluethooth medium rate packets, the access code and the header are frequently modulated by Gausian Frequency Shift Keying, and the actual payload is phase-modulated by a differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying or an 8-ary DQPSK scheme. Guard time and a synchronization sequence are placed between the header and the payload parts because of the need to change the modulation scheme and because of the ease in packet transfer. A sequence having a form of ABA is added to a Barker sequence having a form of BABBAAA for providing the synchronization sequence having the form of ABABABBAAA, where A and B are different states in a binary representation.
