Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for using erasure to improve signal decoding when data is impacted by an interference event. Embodiments may include receiving in an RF receiver a desired on-channel signal that includes an information signal modulated on to the desired on-channel signal; generating a sampled received signal with an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter; detecting an interference event using an interference detector as well as generating a mask based on the interference event; processing the sampled received signal using the mask to generate decoding data for use by a soft decoder; and, providing the decoding data to the soft decoder.
