Abstract
A soft decision demapping method includes defining distance values between a received signal and coordinates of constellation dots, obtaining a difference between a maximum value of distance values when a first bit is 0 and a maximum value of distance values when the first bit is 1, during a soft decision of the first bit of N-bit received signal symbol, acquiring a difference between a maximum value of distance values when a second bit is 0 and a maximum value of distance values when the second bit is 1, during a soft decision of the second bit of the N-bit received signal symbol, and deriving a difference between a maximum value of distance values when an Nth bit is 0 and a maximum value of distance values when the Nth bit is 1, during a soft decision of the Nth bit of the N-bit received signal symbol.
