A multi-user turbo decoder combining multi-user detection and forward error correction decoding is disclosed that utilizes iterative decoding of received, interfering signals, and the construction of a decoding tree of the decoder is changed for each iteration of the decoding based on the previous conditional probability estimates of the value of the data bits of each signal making up the received, interfering signals. Before each iteration of multi-user decoding, a probability estimate is calculated that the value of the bit in a signal has a certain value for all of the data bits. Using the probability estimate a new decoding tree is constructed before each iteration of decoding such that the signal bit having the most reliable estimate is assigned to the lowest or root level of the tree. Using the probability estimate for the other signal bits, the signal bit having the next most reliable estimate is assigned to the second level of the tree, and so forth, with the signal bit having the least reliable estimate being assigned to the highest level of the tree adjacent the terminating nodes or leaves of the tree. By building the decoding tree in this manner for each iteration of symbol decoding, a reduced complexity search is more likely to include paths (and nodes) in the tree containing the correct value for the channel symbols.

Some embodiments set forth probability based caching, whereby a probability value determines in part whether content identified by an incoming request should be cached or not. Some embodiments further set forth probability based eviction, whereby a probability value determines in part whether cached content should be evicted from the cache. Selection of the content for possible eviction can be based on recency and/or frequency of the content being requested. The probability values can be configured manually or automatically. Automatic configuration involves using a function to compute the probability values. In such scenarios, the probability values can be computed as a function of any of fairness, cost, content size, and content type as some examples.

The present invention is directed to providing a spatial-multiplexed signal detection method that can improve the characteristics of spatial and temporal iterative decoding that is based on turbo principles. According to the method, when implementing factorization of conditional probability referred to as “likelihood” such that the conditional probability can be represented by the product of a plurality of conditional probabilities, the conditional probability being obtained for a received signal sequence in a spatial and temporal iterative decoding configuration based on turbo principles of soft-input soft-output detector 1 and soft-input soft-output decoder 2, the conditional probability for which factorization is possible is divided into a plurality of groups. When calculating this likelihood, the ordering among groups in which probabilities are calculated can be ordered such that groups that contain events that serve as the conditions of conditional probabilities in the groups are processed earlier. When calculating the probabilities in the groups, a metric operation method is used that uses semi-rings for estimating transmission sequences by means of the ratio of likelihoods of two exclusive events.
