Abstract
A method for performing 3/5 major voting in the TACS/AMPS mobile phone system, in which a word of the message frame is transmitted repeated five times and every bit of the word is given a value at reception by major voting of the five repeats. The number of ones or zeros of a bit C is counted at least to three. This number is saved as a binary two-bit number B′A′ in two memories ( ) so that the first ( ) contains the least significant bit A′ of the number B′A′ and the second ( ) contains the most significant bit B′ of the number B′A′. After the fifth repeat of the bit C, the final number of ones or zeros of the bit C has been counted and saved in the memories ( ) and voting is performed on the bit C based on bits A′ and B′ indicating the number of ones or zeros.
