Unbiased MMSE vs. Biased MMSE Equalizers
نویسنده
چکیده
We systematically analyze the biased and unbiased minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizers of finite as well as infinite length, with and without decision feedback sections. New closed-form expressions of optimum equalizer weights, the MMSE, and symbol error probabilities (SEP), solely in terms of channel response parameters and noise power, are derived for the above receivers. These new expressions have not appeared in the literature and should be included for completeness. We also prove analytically that the biased and unbiased MMSE equalizers have the same optimum weights and that an infinitely long unbiased MMSE equalizer approaches the optimum minimum error probability equalizer. Performance curves are presented and compared for all the receivers discussed. Moreover, for all the infinite length equalizers presented, alternative error probability expressions are provided to best suit computer simulations.

Burst mode equalization: optimal approach and suboptimal continuous-processing approximation
We consider a transmission by burst where the data are organized and sent by bursts. At each end of the burst of data, a sequence of symbols is assumed known, and the channel considered as constant over the burst duration. The optimal structure of the burst mode equalizers is derived. The class of linear and decision feedback equalizers is considered, as well the class of ISI cancelers that use...

This paper presents a general structure for Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizers from which we can derive instances such as the: two proposed Linear Equalizers with Extrinsic Feedback (LE-EF), Linear Equalizer (LE) and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE). The Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart was used to analyze the two proposed MMSE LE-EF receivers and their characteristics was ...
متن کاملTurbo-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 ...
متن کاملStructured MMSE equalization for synchronous CDMA with sparse multipath channels
We present chip-level MMSE equalizers for the forward link in CDMA that exploit the underlying channel structure, specifically the fact that the channel impulse response is sparse. The assumption we make is that the channel vector lies in the subspace associated with the pulse shaping filter convolution matrix. We can then project the chiplevel MMSE equalizers onto a much lower dimensional subs...
متن کاملFrequency-domain equalizers with zero restoration for zero-padded block transmission with high SNR
This paper focuses on the equalization of block transmissions with zero pad (ZP). If the channel impulse response length does not exceed the ZP length, it is possible to construct zero-forcing equalizers (ZFEs). Improved performance may be achieved using a minimummean squared error (MMSE) equalizer. However, these equalizers are computationally intensive when a time-domain implementation is use...
