Abstract

An approach is provided for relaying signals. A signal is received over a communication link and demodulated. Soft symbols are estimated based on probability information corresponding to the demodulated signal. The demodulated signal is remodulated based on the soft symbols. A relay signal is output based on the remodulated signal.
