ABSTRACT:
A symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method greatly limits the number of possible interfering symbols which require examination. This method has considerable processing advantages over other optimal maximum likelihood detection methods. For practical configurations, the symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method provides a performance which is less than 1 dB from the optimal maximum likelihood detection method while simultaneously providing for a similar bit error rate. The symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method calculates the phase errors for all paths from a present state to a previous state. Next, total path distances are calculated for previously selected paths to the previous state. The phase error associated with each of the paths from two states previous to the present state are calculated. For each symbol of the present state, only one path is selected to each symbol. This path corresponds to the path with the minimum phase error. The symbol sent may then be determined by retracing the selected paths through the trellis structure for each of the M symbols.
