Abstract
An electronic receiver comprises sequence estimation circuitry operable to implement a sequence estimation algorithm. In the sequence estimation algorithm, each of a plurality of possible current states of the signal may have associated with it a respective Npossible prior states and a respective M state extensions, where Nand M are integers greater than 1. Each iteration of the sequence estimation algorithm may comprise extending each of the plurality of possible current states of the signal by its respective Npossible prior states and its respective M state extensions to generate a respective N×M extended states for each of the plurality of possible current states. Each iteration of the sequence estimation algorithm may comprise, for each of the plurality of possible current states of the signal, selecting M of the respective N×M extended states to be state extensions for a next iteration of the sequence estimation algorithm.
