Abstract
A method of operating a signal processing apparatus () comprises receiving a first signal representing a received data bit, determining from the first signal a first soft data bit, storing the first soft data bit in a leaky storage device (), receiving a second signal representing the received data bit, and determining from the second signal a second soft data bit. The stored first soft data bit is read from the leaky storage device (), an elapsed leakage time of the stored first soft data bit is measured, and a third soft data bit is generated dependent on the stored first soft data bit read from the leaky storage device () and on the elapsed leakage time. A fourth soft data bit is generated by combining the second soft data bit and the third soft data bit, and the received data bit is decoded dependent on the fourth soft data bit and on a selected plurality of further received data bits.
