Abstract

A digital receiver based on one-dimensional hard demapping of an input symbol stream (FEC encoded) is configured to utilize LLRs created to have bit-specific magnitude values to improve the probability that the included decoder (such as an LDPC decoder) properly recovers each bit from the original stream. The digital receiver may be used with various types of data modulation schemes (e.g., PAM3, PAM4, DSQ8, etc.), with a specific set of LLR magnitudes created for each modulation scheme.
