Patent ID: 8294591

Claim:
A method for identifying a decoded signal for an incoming signal, the method comprising: processing an incoming signal via a signal processing receiver, wherein the receiver extracts at least one sequence of one or more symbols from the incoming signal to generate an extracted sequence of symbols; performing a first data comparison with the extracted sequence of symbols and one or more possible matching signals of a set of idealized model data according to a probability theory, wherein the first comparison generates a first result; performing a second data comparison with an equalized version of the incoming signal and the one or more possible matching signals of the set of idealized model data, wherein the second comparison generates a second result; performing a third data comparison with the extracted sequence of symbols and one or more possible matching signals of a modified set of idealized model data, wherein the third data comparison generates a third result; and identifying a decoded signal for the incoming signal based on the first, second and third results.
