Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided herein for enabling the joint detection and decoding of uplink state flag symbols. In this regard, a method is provided that determining one or more residual error terms by jointly detecting and decoding in one or more bursts of a radio block. In some example embodiments, the one or more residual error terms are determined over a plurality of uplink state flag symbols in the one or more bursts that correspond to a plurality of available uplink state flag sequences. The method of this embodiment may also include determining a weighted error measure for each of the plurality of available uplink state flag sequences based on the one or more residual error terms. The method of this embodiment may also include determining an uplink state flag value based on the plurality of weighted error measures.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
identifying, with circuitry, a plurality of uplink state flag symbols in one or more bursts of a radio block, the plurality of uplink state flag symbols corresponding to a plurality of available uplink state flag sequences;
determining, with the circuitry, one or more residual error terms by jointly detecting and decoding the one or more bursts, the one or more residual error terms being determined over the plurality of uplink st…
