Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for redundancy-based decoding in 8-PSK GSM systems are provided. A burst process may utilize a gradient search equalization operation to process a received 8-PSK modulated symbol sequence. A frame process may generate a redundancy-based decoded output bit sequence based on the burst process results. Iterative steps of the gradient search equalization operation may be utilized to converge to the burst process results. The redundancy-based decoded output bit sequence of the frame process may be fed back to a subsequent burst process. Results from the subsequent burst process may be utilized to generate a subsequent redundancy-based decoded output bit sequence by a subsequent frame process. The fed-back redundancy-based decoded output bit sequence may be combined with results from a Viterbi equalization operation within the subsequent burst process. Symbol-to-bits and bits-to-symbol conversions may be utilized during the burst process and during the subsequent burst process.
