    Patent number: 5036514
    Abstract: A method for correcting error weights in a communication system in which at least one error condition can result from more than one cause. Stations on the system send error reports to an error monitor station which maintains a count of the number of stations reporting an error having multiple causes and periodically corrects the error weights assigned to each station as a function of the maximum number of errors reported by any station only when the number of stations reporting a multiple cause error exceeds a predetermined value.
