Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. The receiver circuit of claim 16, further comprising:
an equalizer configured to filter a data signal received from a transmitter via a channel to provide a filtered data signal; and
a second detector configured to generate the set of decisions based on the filtered data signal,
wherein the error estimator is configured to identify a type of forward error correction encoding scheme of the data signal based on pilot symbols located at forward error correction codeword boundaries of symbols included in the data signal, based on the type of forward error correction encoding scheme, to implement a trellis for generating the metric values corresponding to the list of the most likely error events, and to determine start and end states of the trellis over a span of one or more codewords based on the pilot symbols.
