ABSTRACT:
A radio communication device (100) receives a radio frequency (RF) signal comprising at least first, second, and third words which include message information and error correction information, wherein the second and third words are redundant words associated with the first word. A processing unit (120) included in the radio communication device (100) compares each corresponding bit of the first, second, and third words to determine, for each corresponding bit, which of first and second bit values is a majority bit value and generates a fourth word which includes a bit for each corresponding bit, wherein each bit of the fourth word has a value equivalent to the majority bit value corresponding thereto. Error correction circuitry (135) coupled to the processing unit (120) performs error correction on each of the first, second, third, and fourth words utilizing the error correction information, subsequent to which the processing unit (120) selects message information included in one of the first, second, third, and fourth words for presentation when at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth words has been corrected.
