Digital signal processing receivers, systems and methods for identifying decoded signals

A system for identifying a decoded signal for an incoming signal, comprising:

• a signal processing receiver adapted to receive an incoming signal, wherein the receiver extracts at least one sequence of one or more symbols from the incoming signal to generate an extracted sequence of symbols;
• first means for comparing the extracted sequence of symbols and one or more possible matching signals of a set of idealized model data according to a probability theory, wherein the first means for comparing generates a first result;
• second means for comparing an equalized version of the incoming signal and the one or more possible matching signals of the set of idealized model data, wherein the second means for comparing generates a second result;
• means for identifying a decoded signal for the incoming signal based on an idealized result determined from at least the first and second results, wherein the idealized result has a bit pattern that is substantially the same as the extracted sequence of symbols.

Computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon one or more programs that enable a processor to process data and information, wherein the one or more programs comprises a series of program instructions which when executed by a processor using software cause the processor to:

• extract at least one sequence of symbols from an incoming signal to generate an extracted sequence of symbols;
• generate a first result based on a comparison of the extracted sequence of symbols and one or more possible matching signals of a set of idealized model data according to a probability theory;
• generate a second result based on a comparison of the extracted sequence of symbols and one or more possible matching signals of a modified set of idealized model data;
• and
• identify a decoded signal for the incoming signal based on an idealized result determined from at least the first and second results, wherein the idealized result has a bit pattern that is substantially the same as the extracted sequence of symbols.
