Abstract
A method for operating a mobile station includes steps of (a) receiving a signal from a forward traffic channel and decoding the received signal using a first decoding technique to generate a first bit error rate (BER); (b) decoding the received signal using a second decoding technique to generate a second BER; (c) comparing the first BER to the second BER; and (d) declaring the received signal to be one of a FACCH message or user data depending on a result of the comparison. The method may include an additional step of verifying that the received signal contains a valid FACCH message type.
