20150229506 | SOFT METRICS COMPRESSING METHOD - A signal method of processing in a receiver a signal that has been encoded and interleaved in a transmitter comprising: receiving a signal, process the signal to obtain a stream of soft metrics representing bit probability of symbols in a predetermined constellation; applying to said soft metric a compression operation that preserves the total length of each group of soft metrics relative to a same constellation symbol; rearranging the stream of compressed soft metrics so as to inverse the interleaving done in the transmitter. | 08-13-2015 |
