The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for demodulating data symbols (d1-dN) having been transmitted through a communication channel, particularly a channel suffering from one or more impairments. Received signal samples ({overscore (rho)}), representing the sent data symbols (d1-dN), are stored (310) and demodulated in both the forward (320) and the backward direction (330), via a demodulator/equaliser. In course of the demodulations are produced a first (SF) and a second (SB) respective set of soft values (skF; skB), which each is associated with a certain data symbol (dk). (340) From every pair of soft values (skF; skB) is then determined a joint soft value (SkJ), which e.g. may be utilised for deriving a resulting set of data symbols ({circumflex over (d)}1-{circumflex over (d)}N) or for directly decoding the payload information contained in the data symbols (d1-dN). |
