Abstract
A method of generating soft decision detection parameters for a plurality of received signals. The method comprises defining a hard decision boundary and a plurality of quantisation intervals wherein each quantisation interval extends from the hard decision boundary by an interval distance, selecting a log likelihood value from a set of log likelihood values for each received signal based on the quantisation interval in which the received signal is detected, performing a soft decoding using a plurality of log likelihood values, adjusting the set of log likelihood values based on a result of the soft decoding, determining an error probability for a quantisation interval, comparing the error probability against a target error probability and adjusting the interval distance in order to obtain the target error probability.
