Abstract
A method for use by a voter in a communication system includes the steps of receiving (201) a frame of information, wherein the received frame has a frame number. It is determined if a reference frame for the frame number exists (203). If a reference frame for the frame number does not exist, the received frame is set (205) as a current reference frame for the frame number and an output criterion is set (207) for the frame number. When the output criterion for the frame number is satisfied, the current reference frame is output (211) as the output frame for the frame number. If a reference frame for the frame number exists, the frame is voted (209) against the reference frame for the frame number, yielding the current reference frame.
