Patent ID: 7475323

Claim:
A method of receiving messages in a wireless communication system, comprising: decoding at least one frame of data to obtain at least one decoded frame, wherein each frame of data carries a plurality of messages and has a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value generated for the frame, and wherein each message has a CRC value generated for the message; processing each decoded frame, even if the decoded frame fails a CRC test, to extract messages sent in the decoded frame; determining a starting location of each message based on header information obtained from the at least one decoded frame; extracting each message from the at least one decoded frame based on the staffing location for the message; checking each message extracted from the at least one decoded frame based on the CRC value for the message; and for each of the messages, processing the message if the CRC value for the message passes a CRC test for the message and discarding the message that fails the CRC test for the message.
