    Abstract: A method of estimating channel impulse response in a signal transmitted over a channel in a communication system is described. The channel estimator obtains a priori knowledge about the transmitted signal, and then uses the transmitted signal and the a priori knowledge to choose an estimate of channel impulse response which minimizes the expected distance between the transmitted signal and a reconstructed signal. The expected distance that is minimized is a cost function, represented by E{∥r-Bh∥2r}. By using soft decision feedback, the invention minimizes erroneous decision feedback which can cause error propagation. The decisions are usually in the form of log likelihood ratios (LLR).

    Abstract: A method of source controlled channel decoding a bit of a received frame comprises: determining inter-frame a priori information based on correlation between corresponding elements U k-l,n and U k,n of successive frames; determining intra-frame a priori information based on correlation between predetermined elements U k,n and U k,l of each frame; determining the a priori information for the bit by combining the inter-frame and intra-frame a priori information. The step of combining the inter-frame and intra-frame a priori information may comprise adding the inter-frame and intra-frame a priori soft values.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of recovering a received packet comprising the steps of: generating a soft value for each bit of the received packet; stori ng the soft values of the received packet; performing an error check on the received packet; and responsive to detection of an error: i) receiving a retransmission of the packet; ii) generating a soft value for each bit of th e retransmitted packet; iii) combining each generated soft value with the respective last stored soft values; iv) storing the combined soft values; v) performing an error check based on the thus combined soft values; and vi) responsive to detection of an error repeating steps i) to v). Circuitry for implementing such a method in a receiver is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of estimating channel impulse response in a signal transmitted over a channel in a communication system is described. The channel estimator obtains a priori knowledge about the transmitted signal and then use the transmitted signal and the a priori knowledge to choose an estimate of channel impulse response which minimises the expected distance between the transmitted signal and a reconstructed signal. The expected distance that is minimised is a cost function; represented by E{¦¦r-Bh¦¦2r).. By using soft decision feedback, the invention minimises erroneous decision feedback which can cause error propagation. The decision are usually in the form of log likelihood ratios (LLR).
