In a communication system, a postcoder is coupled between first and second portions of each of a plurality of receivers. The postcoder is configured to receive an adaptive index representation of a scaled signal associated with the first portion of a first one of the receivers, and to process the adaptive index representation using an adjusted postcoder coefficient to generate a postcompensation signal. The postcompensation signal is supplied by the postcoder to the second portion of a second one of the receivers for use in postcompensation of at least one signal received by the second receiver.
