AI summary

A transmitter inserts parity samples into a stream of information symbols in an inter-symbol correlated (ISC) signal. The inserted parity samples may be utilized to generate estimates of corresponding information symbols when they are received by a receiver. The information symbols may be pulse shaped by a first pulse shaping filter characterized by a first response. The parity samples may be pulsed shaped by a second pulse shaping filter characterized by a second response. The first response and the second response are diverse or uncorrelated. The transmitter may transmit the ISC signal comprising the pulse shaped information symbols and the pulse shaped parity samples. The parity samples may be generated utilizing a non-linear function over a plurality of the information symbols. The non-linear function may be diverse from a partial response signal convolution corresponding to the information symbols and is designed according to a desired SNR value at the receiver.
