A sequence estimation circuit of a receiver may receive a sample of an inter-symbol correlated (ISC) signal corresponding to a time instant when phase and/or amplitude of the ISC signal is a result of correlation among a plurality of symbols of a transmitted symbol sequence. The sequence estimation circuit may calculate a residual signal value based on the sample of the ISC signal and based on a survivor sequence. The sequence estimation circuit may generate one or more branch vector hypotheses based on the residual signal value, where each of the hypotheses comprises a plurality of symbols. The sequence estimation circuit may generate an estimate of one or more of the plurality of transmitted symbols based on the one or more branch vector hypotheses. |
