    摘要: Adders each add up an addition value sent from a metric calculator and a state metric read from a memory. A maximum value selector generates a first likelihood when a data bit is 1, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A maximum value selector generates a second likelihood when a data bit is 0, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A subtracter subtracts the second likelihood from the first likelihood to generate a likelihood ratio, and a subtracter subtracts data from the likelihood ratio and generates extrinsic information. A re-normalizer multiplies the extrinsic information by a predetermined value to re-normalize it and temporarily stores it in a memory. The extrinsic information stored in the memory is used as the prior probability information for the next iterative decoding.

    摘要: The invention relates to a receiver which forms part of a communication system and receives data frames through a communication channel which is subject to disturbances, said receiver carrying out an estimation of the maximum error rate and minimum error rate caused by the communication channel. The receiver in a first time period verifies the validity of the received data frames so as to detect and identify the received erroneous data frames and the received correct data frames. Subsequently, the receiver proceeds to correct those received erroneous data frames which can be corrected, so as to generate corrected data frames. The erroneous bits are detected through a bit-by-bit comparison of the erroneous data frames 302 and the corresponding corrected data frames 303, which are added together and then averaged over the total number of bits nb_total_bits received by the receiver so as to obtain a minimum error rate for the transmission. The invention also enables an estimation of a maximum value for the error rate of the received data by adding together the number of bits contained in those data frames 301 which cannot be corrected.
