1. A method for processing wireless data via a communication network, comprising:
determining a first type of 5G orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) in accordance with resource elements (REs) of each symbol and configuration parameters;
removing reference signals from the REs to generate a stream of data;
generating demapped data and signal to interference noise radio (SINR) information in accordance with the stream of data;
categorizing REs via an RE identifier to generate RE information including categorizations of REs; and
forwarding the categorizations of REs from the RE identifier to a soft demapper to generate soft-demapped REs in accordance with the categorizations of REs.
