METHOD, RECEIVER DEVICE, NETWORK NODE AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL FOR DECODING TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

A method, performed in a receiver device, for decoding transmissions of a set of coded information bits from a transmitter. The method includes deriving received symbols from first received data and second received data. The received symbols are converted to sets of soft coded bit estimates. The sets of soft coded bit estimates are combined to form a combined set of soft coded bit estimates. The combined set of soft coded bit estimates are decoded to form a set of soft information bit estimates. The set of soft information bit estimates are converted to form a set of binary bits. A determination is made whether the set of binary bits has been correctly or incorrectly decoded. Interference cancellation is performed on the received data, and the method is repeated until either the set of binary bits has been correctly decoded or a predefined maximum number of iterations is reached.
