1. An apparatus, comprising:
a radio-frequency (RF) receiver for receiving RF signals, the RF receiver comprising:
a plurality of modulation signal detectors (MSDs) to generate a plurality of detection signals when a plurality of RF signals modulated using a plurality of modulation schemes are detected;
a shared medium access control (MAC) used for the plurality of modulation schemes; and
a controller to use MAC functions to configure the RF receiver and to cause reception of the plurality of RF signals in response to the plurality of detection signals.
