Soft metrics for multiple bursts transmitted at different times for a data packet are scaled, quantized, and rescaled prior to decoding. As each burst is received, input soft metrics for the burst are scaled with a scaling factor S(i), quantized based on a quantization scale factor Q(i), and stored in a buffer. The scaling factor and quantization scale factor are computed based on the statistics for the burst. After all bursts for the data packet have been received, the quantized soft metrics for each burst are rescaled based on the quantization scale factor Q(i) for that burst and a common scale factor to properly weight the soft metrics in the decoding process. The common scale factor is determined based on the quantization scale factors Q(i) for all bursts. The rescaled soft metrics for all bursts are requantized, deinterleaved, and decoded to obtain decoded data for the packet.

Capacitors employing liquid or gel electrolytes have their useful lifetime significantly extended by including, in the electrolyte, a binary mixture of transition metal ion species. Each species has at least two distinct oxidation states when dissolved in the electrolyte. The interaction of the mixture of ion species reduces the potential of the cathode and maintains the potential of the cathode below the hydrogen potential to prevent the reduction of hydrogen ions and the formation of hydrogen. The binary mixture of transition metal species reduces the cathode potential by oxidation of the transition metal species at the anode and reduction of the transition metal species at the cathode. Thus, the rate of decrease in capacitance, increase in equivalent series resistance, and swelling of the capacitor are suppressed. In addition, the ratio of capacitor aging to the quantity of charge passed by the capacitor is decreased by at least a factor of two as compared to previous known extended life capacitors.
