Abstract
In a mobile communication system, a method and circuit for symbol estimation is described. According to the method, a soft output decision for a symbol is estimated and is fed back to modify decisions made for a subsequent set of received samples. This has the advantage of conveying not only information about the most likely symbol, but also information about the noise environment.
