Abstract

A receiver including a signal reception unit, for receiving a signal from a dynamically fading channel, a demodulator, connected to the signal reception unit, for demodulating the received signal, thereby producing a demodulated signal therefrom, a quantizing processor, connected to the demodulator and to the signal reception unit, for analyzing the received signal and for quantizing the demodulated signal, thereby producing a quantized signal, and a decoder, connected to the quantzing processor, for decoding the quantized signal, wherein the quantizing processor normalizes the demodulated signal according to the estimated fading of the received signal.
