Automatic recognition of communication standards is a crucial task, if universal interoperability between different communication systems is claimed. A gateway performing the recognition task can be used to interconnect heterogeneous systems with different and incompatible protocol waveforms. This paper proposes an algorithm for the automatic recognition of various communication standards used for wireless smart home networks in the European 868 MHz Short-Range Device frequency band. Relevant statistical key features are extracted from the received signal and the recognition is based on threshold comparison. The algorithm is appropriate for the implementation in low-complexity embedded systems and works over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).
