Abstract
A receiver unit comprising a signal input configured to receive a receive signal including a plurality of data symbols, a symbol detection circuit configured to detect a subset of data symbols, a reliability measuring circuit configured to determine a reliability value for the data symbols, a feedback loop configured to detect the subset of data symbols and the reliability value iteratively, and a signal output circuitry configured to determine output values of the subset of data symbols on the basis of the detected subset of data symbols and the determined reliability value.
Claims15
A receiver comprising:
- a signal input circuitry configured to receive a signal including a plurality of data symbols,
- a symbol detection circuitry configured to detect a subset of the plurality of data symbols,
- a reliability measuring circuitry configured to determine a reliability value for the subset of data symbols,
- a feedback loop configured to detect the subset of data symbols and the reliability value iteratively, and
- a signal output circuitry configured to determine output values of the subset of data symbols based on the detected subset of data symbols and the determined reliability value, wherein
- the reliability measuring circuitry is configured to determine the reliability value of a plurality of detected data symbols and to feed one of the detected data symbols back via the feedback loop based on the respective reliability value.
A receiver comprising:
- a signal input circuitry configured to receive a signal including a plurality of signal blocks each having a plurality of data symbols,
- a block overlap generation circuitry configured to generate an overlapping signal block based on the plurality of signal blocks,
- an overlapping block separation circuitry configured to remove an overlapping end part from the overlapping signal block and to provide a reduced overlapping signal block,
- a symbol detection circuitry configured to detect a subset of data symbols based on the overlapping signal block, and
- a feedback loop configured to feed the reduced overlapping signal block back and to remove the overlapping signal block iteratively.
A receiving method comprising:
- receiving a signal including a plurality of data symbols,
- detecting a subset of the plurality of data symbols by a symbol detection circuitry,
- determining a reliability value for the subset of data symbols,
- detecting the subset of data symbols and the reliability value iteratively via a feedback loop, and
- providing output values of the subset of data symbols based on the detected subset of data symbols and the determined reliability value, wherein
- the determining a reliability includes determining the reliability value of a plurality of detected data symbols and to feeding one of the detected data symbols back via the feedback loop based on the respective reliability value.
