1. A method for receiving signal and recovering data from a communication channel, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) receiving channel-impaired symbols of a sequence of codewords from said communication channel, said sequence of codewords being generated by applying a substantially orthogonal channel code to said data, each codeword being a sequence of symbols, each symbol being selected from a signal constellation;

    (b) decoding said channel-impaired symbols to recover said data using a decoding process that is based on a trellis diagram;

    said decoding utilizing a plurality of feedback equalizers to respectively process for each of said channel-impaired symbols a plurality of tentative decisions.
