Abstract
A method of generating a reliability indicator for decoding an encoded signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver via a wireless channel subject to fading. The method comprises: receiving symbols of the encoded signal; generating a reliability indicator for decoding at least some of the symbols selectively based on one or both of a statistical model representing additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in the encoded signal and a statistical model representing fading of the encoded signal; and selecting the statistical model based on signal characteristics of the wireless channel.
