Abstract
A method and device for error-correcting a plurality of bits transmitted over RF channels in a cellular communication system are provided. The present invention applies principles of majority voting to error-correct a plurality of bits in a message word simultaneously. Further, the present invention applies its error-correction capability to virtually any number of repeat transmissions over forward and reverse control/voice channels. Following synchronization of the transmit and receive stations, a message word having n-bits is transmitted repeatedly. The repeat bits are separated and analyzed whereafter the true logical state of the original n-bits is determined. The originally transmitted message word is then reconstructed based upon the determined true logical state of the n-bits.
