It's identical to calculating the LLR in 256-QAM. But here you only need to calculate 4 soft bits in either I- or Q-branch, and not all 8 bits. LBB

Hi,
If I have a 16-QAM demodulator I know I can use the I and Q values to
access a lookup table and output soft codes for a Viterbi uisng LLR

What do I do if I'm using 16-PAM? If my information is right its just
amplitude modulation. So out of the demodulator I will get 1 of 16 values.
How do I then create the soft codes indicating how strong, or weak the '1's
and '0's are?

Thanks
Mike
