Abstract
An apparatus and a method. The apparatus includes a channel estimation (CE) module, including a first input for receiving pilot resource element (RE) observations, a second input for receiving data RE observations, a third input for receiving log-likelihood ratios (LLRs), and an output; a detector, including a first input connected to the output of the CE module, a second input for receiving data RE observations, and an output connected to the third input of the CE module; and a decoder, including an input connected to the third input of the CE module, and an output.
