Abstract
A spatial processor that exploits signals that arrive via multiple outputs of a communication channel to provide soft decision values useful to a trellis or Viterbi decoder. A spatial processor may take into account a statistical characterization of interference as received via the multiple channel outputs. Spatial processor operation may also be optimized to operate in conjunction with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).
