Reduced-Complexity MAP Equalizer for Dispersive Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a computationally efficient soft-output equalizer for communication over dispersive channels. The proposed equalizer has a forward and backward recursion structure similar to the classic BCJR MAP algorithm, but its complexity is reduced by constructing a reduced-state trellis, as in the decision feedback sequence estimator (DFSE). We are able to achieve consistent state definitions by running the backward pass on the same trellis as the forward pass. The performance of this reduced-complexity equalizer is evaluated within an iterative receiver in which the intersymbol interference (ISI) channel and channel code are treated as serially concatenated codes. The EDGE air interface is used as an illustrative example, for which we are able to reduce the number of states from 4096 to 8.

Fast adaptive equalization/diversity combining for time-varying dispersive channels
We examine adaptive equalization and diversity combining methods for fast Rayleigh-fading frequency selective channels. We assume a block adaptive receiver in which the receiver coefficients are obtained from feedforward channel estimation. For the feedforward channel estimation, we propose a novel reduced dimension channel estimation procedure, where the number of unknown parameters are reduce...

This paper presents an improved decision feedforward equalizer (DFFE) for high speed receivers in the presence of highly dispersive channels. This decision-aided equalizer technique has been recently proposed for multigigabit communication receivers, where the use of parallel processing is mandatory. Well-known parallel architectures for the typical decision feedback equalizer (DFE) have a comp...
متن کاملLow Complexity MLSE Equalization in Highly Dispersive Rayleigh Fading Channels
A soft output low complexity maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) equalizer is proposed to equalize M-QAM signals in systems with extremely long memory. The computational complexity of the proposed equalizer is quadratic in the data block length and approximately independent of the channel memory length, due to high parallelism of its underlying Hopfield neural network structure. The s...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system suffers extra performance degradation in fast fading channels due to intercarrier interference (ICI). Combining frequency domain equalization and bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM), the iterative receiver is able to harvest both temporal and frequency diversity. Realizing the fact that ICI energy is clustered in adjacent subcarriers,...
متن کاملEqualization Requirement Study For Broadband MMDS Wireless Access Systems
Dependent upon terrain and land use, the propagation characteristics of fixed broadband wireless access (BWA) channels can vary from Ricean through to Rayleigh (ie, from line of sight (LOS) to non-line of sight (NLOS) operation). The delay spreads associated with such channels can be detrimental when high data rates are considered. To combat the inter symbol interference (ISI) induced by these ...
