  • Patent number: 6523148
    Abstract: A majority decision method for improved frame error rate in the digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) system. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention includes a method for improving retransmission efficiency of a data frame within a communication system. The method includes the step of receiving and storing three corrupted versions of a data frame within a memory. Moreover, the method also includes the step of performing a byte-wise comparison of the three corrupted versions of the data frame to locate an inconsistent byte position. In response to locating the inconsistent byte position among the three corrupted versions of the data frame, the method includes the step of performing a byte-wise majority decision among the three corrupted versions of the data frame to select a correct byte value of the inconsistent byte position.
