A method for decoding signalling messages on Flexible Layer One (FLO) half rate channels, wherein soft values of blocks that are incorrectly received are stored in a buffer. When the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) data of a received block fails, the soft values of the block are stored along with the first half of a signalling message so as to facilitate soft combining. The information from the first half of a signalling message that is used in the combination is the first radio packet for which the TFCI is a signalling TFCI, i.e., its value is 0. As a result, a misread of the first and second TFCI of a signalling message can occur without adversely affecting the decoding of a transmitted radio packet. In addition, the ability to decode errors within the TFCI that precedes the signalling message without having an adverse impact on the signalling message is achieved.
