Abstract

Method of, and arrangement and device for, decoding a communications signal in a digital communications system, where the communications signal is modulated according to a modulation scheme including amplitude information; generating a likelihood value for a received communications signal, decoding the communications signal based on at least the generated likelihood value, providing a reliability indication of the amplitude information conveyed by the received communications signal wherein the step of generating the likelihood value further comprises generating the likelihood value on the basis of the provided reliability indication of the amplitude information.
