Abstract
A decoding apparatus for decoding a signal transmitted over a channel in a communication system, the signal comprising at least one data symbol and one pilot symbol the data symbol comprising a first encoded sequence encoding a transmitted sequence, the pilot symbol comprising a pilot signal. The decoding apparatus performs an additional processing after the operations of a conventional maximum likelihood decoding. A predetermined number of hypotheses of the conventional maximum likelihood decoding are selected to perform a maximum likelihood processing where channel estimation is improved by considering data symbol information. A receiver, a LTE receiver, a method and a computer program are also claimed.
