Abstract

A method is provided for receiving a received data signal including at least one symbol block received and representative of a source signal. The method includes at least one iteration for improving an estimate of the received signal and including the following steps, for a current equalized symbol block: obtaining one or more decided bits, by bit-by-bit decoding a current subset of bits; updating one or more symbols, according to the decoded bit or bits, delivering an updated block of estimated symbols; determining a block of equalized symbols enhanced by canceling interferences, taking account of the updated block of estimated symbols.
