Abstract
A method of processing a digitally encoded radio signal () comprising a bit to be determined is disclosed. The method comprises correlating a first bit sequence () comprising the bit with a plurality of predetermined filters (-) to create a first set of filter coefficients (-); calculating () a first likelihood data set () comprising a likelihood of said bit having a given value for each bit position from the first set of filter coefficients. A second bit sequence () comprising the bit at a different position is then correlated with the filters to create a second set of filter coefficients (-), from which a second likelihood data set () is calculated. A soft output bit () comprising a probability weighted bit value from data corresponding to the bit at a first and second bit positions from the first and second likelihood data sets respectively is then calculated.
