Abstract

A method comprising receiving a modulated radio signal transmitting coded information bits, performing demodulating on the modulated radio signal, wherein demodulating comprises performing orthogonal time frequency space demodulation, performing equalization on the demodulated radio signal to obtain equalized symbols, obtaining log-likelihood ratios for the coded information bits from the equalized symbols using a trained machine learning model, and reconstructing the coded information bits.
