Patent ID: 11901916
Assignee: AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE GMBH
Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by a computerized device, cause the computerized device to perform a method of soft-decision decoding, the method comprising:
training a machine learning agent with communication signal training data;
providing to the trained machine learning agent a signal that has been received via a communications channel;
operating the machine learning agent to determine respective probabilities that the received signal corresponds to each of a plurality of symbols; and
based on the determined respective probabilities, performing soft decision decoding on the received signal,
wherein operating the machine learning agent comprises determining a normalized probability pair for each symbol bit, a normalized probability pair comprising a first probability that a respective symbol bit is a zero and a second probability that the respective symbol bit is a one, and
wherein the first probability and the second probability of the normalized probability pair sum to 1.
