摘要
Optimal decision metric approximation in bit-soft decisions. The present invention provides for calculation of the decision metrics/branch metrics for determining whether an incoming analog signal should be transformed into a 1 or a 0 in the digital realm. In performing these decisions, there is some probability associated with the decision to map the incoming signal to a value of 1 or 0. These decisions made in extracting bits from a particular symbol are typically referred to as bit-soft decisions. In making these bit-soft decisions, decoders commonly use decision metrics/branch metrics as mentioned above. Whereas prior art approaches typically are very computationally intensive to calculate these values, the present invention provides for a much improved and simplified calculation of decision metrics/branch metrics that may be used in bit-soft decisions. The optimal metric approximation may be implemented using a few mathematical operations and simple comparison logic circuitry.
