  • Method for the flexible demodulation of estimated complex symbols
    Patent number: 8155230
    Abstract: A method for soft demapping of complex-valued symbols y(k) (k=1, 2, . . . , K) by calculation of a Logarithm of Likelihood Ratio (LogLR) such that: Log ? ? LR ? ( b I , q ) = ln ? ? ? ? ? S l , q ( 1 ) ? exp ( - 1 2 ? ? ? ? y ~ ? ( k ) - ? ? 2 ) ? ? ? ? S q , l ( 0 ) ? exp ( - 1 2 ? ? ? ? y ~ ? ( k ) - ? ? 2 ) wherein bI,q is the qth coded bit of an in-phase part of a transmitted signal, ? is an asymptotic Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio, {tilde over (y)}(k) is a standardized symbol associated with y(k), ? is a reference symbol of QAM constellation associated with a M-QAM modulation, S(1)I,q and S(0)I,q are complex plane partitions that bring together, respectively, all reference symbols ? having a “1” at the position (I, q) and all reference symbols ? having a “0” at the position (I, q), a formula similar to LogLR being given for the bit bQ,p, pth coded bit of a quadrature part of the transmitted signal.
