Abstract
With a method and a device for error masking in digital transmission systems whereby a distribution function for estimating transmitted parameters is determined at the receiving end, the method provides that a distribution function is adjusted around the output signal value of a predictor and is integrated by sections into a new distribution function; this new distribution function is multiplied by a distribution function which takes the received quality into consideration and the result of an a posteriori distribution which can be used with conventional estimation methods for the final parameter estimation.
