Abstract

A method voting multiple messages begins with a communication unit (111) transmitting (301) a message. At each of a plurality of sites, the message is received (303) and decoded (305) such that a minimized metric is computed and decoded message is extracted from the message. The minimized metric is adjusted (307), producing an adjusted metric. Each of the plurality of sites transports (309) its decoded message and its adjusted metric to a comparator. The comparator receives (311) selecting the decoded message and the adjusted metric from each of the plurality of sites, compares (313) selecting the adjusted metric from each of the plurality of sites and finds an optimal adjusted metric. The decoded message associated with the optimal adjusted metric is then selected (315).
