A communications apparatus to receive a composite signal including a desired signal and interferer signals, where the desired signal may include desired symbols and the interferer signals may include interferer symbols. The system may include N frameworks, each framework may include a detector to partition the desired symbols and the interferer symbols based on an interference severity into a dominant group and a non-dominant group, and to generate A Posteriori Probabilities (APP) of the desired symbols and the interferer symbols. The detector of each of the N frameworks generates the APP based on a feedback of a priori probabilities from each of the N frameworks.
