A method and apparatus for processing a frequency domain digital Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. The method includes generating an estimate of a channel for each sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital OFDM symbol; generating a plurality of demodulated symbols based, at least in part on, the estimate of the channel for each sub-carrier, in which each demodulated symbol corresponding to a given sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital OFDM symbol; calculating a decision metric for each sub-carrier based on (i) the channel estimate corresponding to the sub-carrier and (ii) the demodulated symbol corresponding to the sub-carrier; and estimating a most likely transmitted symbol for each sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital OFDM symbol based on the decision metric corresponding to the sub-carrier. |
