<p>A method for the joint detection of multiple coded digital signals that share th e same transmission medium in a manner that causes mutual interference. The method is comprised of two steps that are applied to preliminary estimates of each digital signal, one or more times. The first step is to obtain reliability estimates for each da ta element of each digital signal by combining the preliminary estimates, a statistical mod el for the interference, and any a priori information regarding the data elements. The seco nd step is to revise these reliability estimates for each digital signal based on the fo rward error correction code used for that digital signal. When the steps are repeated, the r evised reliability estimates from the second step are used as a priori information for the first step.</p> |
