Abstract
A receiver for use in deciding which signal points were sent from a transmitter based on corresponding noise affected signals received over a channel, the transmitter including an encoder which encodes a stream of information symbols into the signal points, the noise affected signals carrying information about a particular sequence of possible states occupied in a succession of time intervals by a finite state process. The receiver includes feedback circuitry for generating a plurality of different modified versions of each received signal, and a decoder for deciding which signal points were sent, given the received signals, based on estimating the particular sequence of states, and using at least two different modified versions.
