Method for decoding a received control channel message with a priori information
First Claim
1. A method for a wireless communication device to receive a message stream on a wireless control channel, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one message on the control channel;
attempting to decode the at least one message;
adding bits of the at least one message to a message attributes list if the at least one message is successfully decoded;
receiving a subsequent message on the control channel;
attempting to decode the subsequent message;
replacing bits in the subsequent message with bits from the message attributes list to produce a modified message if an error is detected during decoding of the subsequent message; and
attempting to decode the modified message.

Abstract
A wireless communication device employs a method for receiving a message stream on a control channel. According to one embodiment, the wireless communication device receives a message on the control channel. The wireless communication devices attempts to decode the message and, if the message is successfully decoded, adds bits of the successfully decoded message to a message attributes list. Some time thereafter, the wireless communication device attempts to decode a subsequent message received on the control channel and, if an error is detected during decoding of the subsequent message, replaces bits in the subsequent message with bits from the message attributes list to produce a modified message. The wireless device then attempts to decode the modified message.
