Re: [10GBT] More on Fixed Point Decoder of the (1024, 833) Code



Dariush,

The word "approximation" implies that the calculated value is close to the
actual value for all inputs.

When we omit the a-priori probablity term in the Bayesian formula for the
LLR of the 12-Dimensional PAM12 system, then we should call this a mistake
and not an approximation.

Regards,
Sailesh.
