Abstract

Techniques are described herein that can be used to decode signals received over multiple channels. The received signals may be processed using noise reducing logic. Signal-to-noise ratio information per channel for signals received over each of the multiple channels may be considered to determine reliability information concerning the slicer input for each channel. Low density parity check codes or other forward error correction (FEC) codes may be used to decode the processed signals from all the multiple channels based on the reliability information.
