Patent ID: 7725804

Claim:
A method, with a wireless receiver communicatively coupled to a wireless communication network, for managing error correction of received wireless messages, the method comprising: identifying, by a High Level network layer component of a device in the wireless communication network, unique values within at least one message type associated with a communication link; determining, by the High Level network layer component of the device in the wireless communication network, a message signature associated with the at least one message type; generating, with the High Level network layer component of the device in the wireless communication network, in response to the identifying, decoding rules associated with the at least one message type, wherein the decoding rules comprise a set of acceptable errors associated with the at least one message type and a set of unacceptable errors associated with the at least one message type to thereby manage the error correction of the at least one message type; sending, with the High Level network layer component of the device in the wireless communication network, the decoding rules to a component of the device in the wireless communication network at a network layer that is lower than the High Level network layer component; and decoding, with the Low Level network layer component of the device in the wireless communication network, at least a portion of a wirelessly transmitted message that has been received based on the decoding rules.
