Method and device for decoding signals that are transmitted over fading channels with multiplying noise

摘要

A method of generating a reliability indicator for decoding an encoded signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver over a wireless channel that is subject to fading, the method comprising: receiving symbols of the encoded signal; andgenerating a reliability indicator for decoding at least some of the symbols based on a statistical model representing additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in the encoded signal and based on a statistical model representing decay of the encoded signal; wherein the statistical models based on the signal properties of the wireless channel.
