LMS versus Wiener Filter for a Decision Feedback Equalizer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study an LMS-DFE. We use the ODE framework to show that the LMS-DFE attractors are close to the true DFE Wiener filter (designed considering the decision errors) at high SNR. Therefore, via LMS one can obtain a computationally efficient way to obtain the true DFE Wiener filter under high SNR. We also provide examples to show that the DFE filter so obtained can significantly outperform the usual DFE Wiener filter (designed assuming perfect decisions) at all practical SNRs. In fact, the performance improvement is very significant even at high SNRs (up to 50%), where the popular Wiener filter designed with perfect decisions, is believed to be closer to the optimal one.

Tracking Analysis of an LMS Decision Feedback Equalizer for a Wireless Channel
We consider a time varying wireless fading channel, equalized by an LMS Decision Feedback equalizer (DFE). We study how well this equalizer tracks the optimal MMSEDFE (Wiener) equalizer. We model the channel by an Autoregressive (AR) process. Then the LMS equalizer and the AR process are jointly approximated by the solution of a system of ODEs (ordinary differential equations). Using these ODEs...

We consider a time varying wireless fading channel, equalized by an LMS linear equalizer in decision directed mode (DD-LMS-LE). We study how well this equalizer tracks the optimal Wiener equalizer. Initially we study a fixed channel. For a fixed channel, we obtain the existence of DD attractors near the Wiener filter at high SNRs using an ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) approximating the D...
متن کاملOptimal MSE Solution for a Decision Feedback Equalizer
Due to the inherent feedback in a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) the minimummean square error (MMSE) or Wiener solution is not known exactly. The main difficulty in such analysis is due to the propagation of the decision errors, which occur because of the feedback. Thus in literature, these errors are neglected while designing and/or analyzing the DFEs. Then a closed form expression is obtai...

متن کاملNonlinear effects in LMS adaptive equalizers
An adaptive transversal equalizer based on the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm, operating in an environment with a temporally correlated interference, can exhibit better steady-state mean-square-error (MSE) performance than the corresponding Wiener filter. This phenomenon is a result of the nonlinear nature of the LMS algorithm and is obscured by traditional analysis approaches that utilize t...
