1. A method for bit stream decoding of a received bit stream, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a) defining a detection window of sample values which are used to determine a value of a bit cell in a bit stream;

    b) applying a majority voting to said sample values within said detection window;

    c) generating a value of said bit cell in dependence on the results of step b); and

    d) decoding the bit stream using the bit cell values generated in step c), wherein said detection window is positioned at an expected edge between two bit cells of the bit stream to overlap at least one sample of a first bit cell and at least one sample of a subsequent bit cell, having respective sample values, in order to perform bit edge detection.
