Abstract
A trellis decoder determines the most likely transmitted phase in response to previously requested phase adjustments and observed transmitted symbols. Maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding also may be used. Alternatively, the identified likely transmitted phase is used for data demodulation. This and related features have the benefit of decreasing the effect of phase discrepancies introduced by erroneous reception of phase adjustment information, resulting in improved error rates, and a corresponding increase in system capacity, data throughput, or both.
