Abstract
A system includes a first channel detection module configured to receive a first channel estimate including a plurality of correlated data bits from a communication channel. The correlated data bits include statistical relationships between different data bits based on the statistical relationships, group together the plurality of correlated data bits, and generate a first probability vector based on the correlated data bits as grouped together. The first probability vector includes probabilities that each of the correlated data bits has a respective value. A computation module is configured to generate bit estimations based on the first probability vector. A decoding module is configured to, based on the bit estimations, selectively generate an output signal corresponding to the bit estimations, and selectively generate a feedback signal. The computation module is further configured to generate the bit estimations based on the feedback signal.
