Abstract
A method (100) for enhanced duplicate message processing at a portable subscriber unit (122) comprises the steps of receiving a first message having a first set of message data and a message sequence number associated with the first message. Then portable subscriber unit receives (402) a subsequent message having the same message sequence number (406) and a subsequent set of message data and creates error indications corresponding to errors detected in the portions of the subsequent set of message data. Then the portable subscriber unit compares (412) the first set of message data and its corresponding error indications with the subsequent set of message data and its corresponding error indications. The subsequent message is then tagged (420) if the subsequent message has less error indications (414) than the first message and if the first message was deleted by the user (418) and if the first message contained an error (426).
