Linear Equalizers for Turbo Equalization A New Optimization Criterion for Determining the Equalizer Taps
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the subject of turbo equalizations in which a receiver combines the equalization and decoding process in an iterative fashion. In order to save in complexity, a linear equalizer with two inputs, one for the received signal and one for the extrinsic information, replaces the aposteriori probability (APP) processor used for the equalization. The equalizer tap gains are determined as a mean square approximation to the APP. We show that such optimization criterion for determining the equalizer tap gains is better than minimum mean square error (MMSE) optimization of such taps. Simulation results are presented for parallel-concatenated turbo code with BPSK modulation over channels that introduce severe amplitude distortion.

Turbo-equalization for bandwidth-efficient digital communications over frequency-selective channels
This thesis deals with the problem of combining equalization with decoding for high data ratebandwidth-efficient transmissions over frequency-selective channels. Specifically, we focus on Turbo-Equalization which establishes an exchange of soft information between the equalizer and the decoderin an iterative manner. We first consider MAP turbo-equalizers which rely on trellis-based ...

This paper considers the application of iterative equalization and decoding, also known as Turbo equalization, to high frequency (HF) serial-tone modems. The softin soft-out (SISO) equalizer required for this approach is based on a linear filter, since a trellis-based equalizer’s computational complexity is too large for this application. Linear equalization algorithms with SISO capability are ...

In this paper, energy efficient VLSI architectures for linear turbo equalization are studied. Linear turbo equalizers exhibit dramatic bit error rate (BER) improvement over conventional equalizers by enabling a form of joint equalization and decoding in which soft information is iteratively exchanged between the equalizer and decoder. However, turbo equalizers can be computationally complex and...

متن کاملMinimum mean squared error equalization using a priori information
A number of important advances have been made in the area of joint equalization and decoding of data transmitted over intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. Turbo equalization is an iterative approach to this problem, in which a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) equalizer and a MAP decoder exchange soft information in the form of prior probabilities over the transmitted symbols. A number...
