Abstract
A wireless system may transmit multiple bit streams representing the same information but with the coded bits being transmitted with different repeat transmission factors. The receiver may derive appropriate combining metrics to optimize decoder performance, while eliminating complicated multiplication operations. The receiver may utilize different soft combining metrics for different bit-to-symbols mappings and types of channels, e.g., additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels.
