Claim Text:
1. A method for performing joint source channel decoding in a communication device, comprising: receiving a first plurality of soft bits representative of a first parameter included in a frame, each soft bit of the first plurality of soft bits specifying a probability that a corresponding bit of the first parameter is a zero or a one, the first parameter comprising a plurality of bits in the frame; generating a second plurality of soft bits representative of the first parameter based on the first plurality of soft bits and at least one conditional probability based at least on a correlation of the first parameter and one or more other parameters included in the first frame and/or one or more parameters included in other frames, each soft bit of the second plurality of soft bits specifying a probability that a corresponding bit of the first parameter is a zero or a one; and providing the second plurality of soft bits to a first channel decoder.
