Patent ID: 8321763

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving data, wherein the received data comprises a first segment of user data, a second segment of user data, and non-user data, wherein the non-user data separates the first segment of user data from the second segment of user data, wherein the non-user data is affected by a first contribution of inter-symbol interference due to the first segment of user data, and wherein the second segment of user data is affected by a second contribution of inter-symbol interference due to the non-user data; removing the non-user data from the received data; removing the second contribution of the inter-symbol-interference from the second segment data of user data; adding the first contribution of the inter-symbol-interference to the second segment of user data; and subsequent to (i) the removal of the non-user data, (ii) the removal of the second contribution of inter-symbol-interference from the second segment data of user data and (iii) the addition of the first contribution of inter-symbol-interference to the second segment data of user data, stitching together the first segment of user data and the second segment of user data.
