Abstract
In general, techniques are described for performing majority vote error correction techniques. In operation, a communication device comprising a control unit implements the majority vote error correction techniques. The control unit includes a link management module to request a first retransmission of a first communication received over a wireless communication medium in response to detecting a first uncorrectable error in the first communication, requests a second retransmission of the first communication in response to detecting a second uncorrectable error in a second communication received in response to the first retransmission request and receives a third communication in response to the second retransmission. The control unit also includes a majority vote module to, in response to detecting a third uncorrectable error in the third communication, perform a bit-wise majority vote on corresponding bits of the first, second and third communications to generate an error-corrected communication.
