Abstract

The present invention includes generating a tie-breaking metric via a comparative tie-breaking metric training process, monitoring an output of a channel detector in order to identify a tie condition between a first log-likelihood ratio (LLR) value and a second LLR value of a symbol, and upon identifying a tie condition between the first LLR value and the second LLR value of the symbol, applying the generated tie-breaking metric to the symbol in order to assign a hard decision to the symbol.
