As disclosed herein, a "super receiver" structure enriches the information provided for decoding modem bits included m a received sequence of symbols, In particular, an equalizer circuit provides joint metrics to a decoder circuit w here the joint metrics, advantageously reflect joint bit probabilities. However, the metrics are computed without need for complex joint probability calculations The decoder circuit ''fuses'" the joint metrics w ith conesponding side information, which indicates the likelihood that on or more bits represented by the joint metric take on a particular value Such fusing biases the soft value estimation for the other bits represented by the joint metric, thus enabling the decoder to operate on refined soft values in its bit decoding operations. |
