Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A process capable of employing compression and decompression mechanism to receive and decode soft information is disclosed. Upon receiving a set of signals representing a logic value from a transmitter via a physical communication channel, the set of signals is demodulated in accordance with a soft decoding scheme and subsequently, a Log Likelihood Ratio (“LLR”) value representing the logic value is generated. After generating a quantized LLR value in response to the LLR value via a non-linear LLR quantizer, the quantized LLR value representing the compressed logic value is stored in a local storage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for processing information over a network, comprising: receiving a first set of signals representing a first logic value from a transmitter via a physical communication channel; demodulating the first set of signals in accordance with a soft decoding scheme and generating a Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) value representing the first logic value; generating a quantized LLR value in response to the LLR value via a non-linear LLR quantizer; storing the quan…
