Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 22:
23. 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, the received data signal comprises forward error correction encoded data; and
a second detector configured to generate the set of decisions based on the filtered data signal,
wherein the decoder is implemented as a soft forward error correction decoder and configured to select a subset of the most likely error events, which are void of errors, to assign a respective reliability value to each of the subset of the most likely error events, and to select the one of the most likely error events, from the subset of the most likely error events, with a best one of the assigned reliability values.
