Adaptive Decision Feedback Space–Time Equalization With Generalized Sidelobe Cancellation

In wireless communications, cochannel interference (CCI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) are two main factors that limit system performance. Conventionally, a beamformer is used to reduce CCI, whereas an equalizer is used to compensate for ISI. These two devices can be combined into one as space–time equalizer (STE). A training sequence is usually required to train the STE prior to its use. In some applications, however, spatial information corresponding to a desired user is available, but the training sequence is not. In this paper, we propose an adaptive decision feedback STE to cope with this problem. Our scheme consists of an adaptive decision feedback generalized sidelobe canceller (DFGSC), a blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE), and a channel estimator. Due to the feedback operation, the proposed DFGSC is not only superior to the conventional generalized sidelobe canceller but also robust to multipath channel propagation and spatial signature error. Theoretical results are derived for optimum solutions, convergence behavior, and robustness properties. With the special channel-aided architecture, the proposed blind DFE can reduce the error propagation effect and be more stable than the conventional blind DFE. Simulation results show that the proposed STE is effective in mitigating both CCI and ISI, even in severe channel environments.      

Adaptive decision feedback equalization: can you skip the trainingperiod?

This paper presents a novel unsupervised (blind) adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE). It can be thought of as the cascade of four devices, whose main components are a purely recursive filter (ℛ) and a transversal filter (𝒯). Its major feature is the ability to deal with severe quickly time-varying channels, unlike the conventional adaptive DFE. This result is obtained by allowing the new equalizer to modify, in a reversible way, both its structure and its adaptation according to some measure of performance such as the mean-square error (MSE). In the starting mode, ℛ comes first and whitens its own output by means of a prediction principle, while 𝒯 removes the remaining intersymbol interference (ISI) thanks to the Godard (1980) (or Shalvi-Weinstein (1990)) algorithm. In the tracking mode the equalizer becomes the classical DFE controlled by the decision-directed (DD) least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm. With the same computational complexity, the new unsupervised equalizer exhibits the same convergence speed, steady-state MSE, and bit-error rate (BER) as the trained conventional DFE, but it requires no training. It has been implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP) and tested on underwater communications signals-its performances are really convincing

Iterative Equalization using Improved Block DFE for Synchronous CDMA Systems

Iterative equalization using optimal multiuser detector and optimal channel decoder in coded CDMA systems improves the bit error rate (BER) performance tremendously. However, given large number of users employed in the system over multipath channels causing significant multiple-access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI), the optimal multiuser detector is thus prohibitively complex. Therefore, the sub-optimal detectors such as low-complexity linear and non-linear equalizers have to be considered. In this paper, a novel low-complexity block decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is proposed for the synchronous CDMA system. Based on the conventional block DFE, the new method is developed by computing the reliable extrinsic log-likelihood ratio (LLR) using two consecutive received samples rather than one received sample in the literature. At each iteration, the estimated symbols by the equalizer is then saved as a priori information for next iteration. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed low-complexity block DFE algorithm offers good performance gain over the conventional block DFE.     

Stochastic Unbiased Minimum Mean Error Rate Algorithm for Decision Feedback Equalizers

Capitalizing on a well-known minimum mean-square error (MMSE) property for decision feedback equalization (DFE) along with the use of stochastic gradient approach, we formulate an adaptive minimum error rate (MER) algorithm for DFE over M-ary PAM channels to be named as stochastic unbiased minimum mean-error rate (SUMMER). Comparisons are made between our algorithm and existing MER algorithms in the literature. Also, by invoking the central limit theorem, we present an analytical proof that an unbiased MMSE equalizer will approach an MER equalizer when the equalizer length approaches infinity; thereby, we obtain a lower bound expression for MER.     

Error Recovery of Decision Feedback Equalizers on Exponential Impulse Response Channels

In this correspondence we determine an upper bound on the error recovery time of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) operating on a high signal to noise ratio channel of exponential impulse response to be used for binary transmission. This bound is related to the channel time constant and we show that exponential impulse response channels form a favourable class of channels with regard to DFE error recovery properties.     

A decision-feedback equalizer with pattern-dependent feedback formagnetic recording channels

A new nonlinear equalizer for high-density magnetic recording channels is presented. It has a structure of the decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) with a nonlinear model at the feedback section and a dynamic threshold detector. The feedback nonlinear model is a sequence of look-up tables (LUTs) indexed by time, and each table is addressed by a transition pattern formed by one future and ν past transitions. We call this new nonlinear equalizer the pattern-dependent DFE (PDFE). The feedback nonlinear model cancels the trailing nonlinear intersymbol interference (ISI), and then the data decision is made by considering the precursor nonlinear ISI caused by one future symbol. We propose a tap optimization criterion SNR_d for the PDFE which in effect tries to maximize the output signal to noise ratio, and derive a closed-form solution for the tap values. We compare the detection performance of PDFE with that of the DFE and the RAM-DFE on experimental channels. The RAM-DFE is a DFE with one large LUT at its feedback section. The results show that the PDFE yields a significant performance improvement over the DFE and the RAM-DFE. Also the PDFE derived in this paper achieves a superior performance compared with the PDFE derived by the minimum mean-square-error criterion     

A new adaptive functional-link neural-network-based DFE forovercoming co-channel interference

A new approach for the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) based on the functional-link neural network is described. The structure is applied to the problem of adaptive equalization in the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI), additive white Gaussian noise, and co-channel interference (CCI). It is shown through simulation results for a severe amplitude distorted co-channel system that the decision feedback functional-link equalizer (DFFLE) provides significantly superior bit-error rate (BER) performance characteristics compared to the conventional DFE, the linear transversal equalizer (LTE), the nonlinear radial basis function (RBF) neural-network-based structures and the feed-forward functional-link equalizer (FFLE)-based structures. The DFFLE is also shown to have a significantly simpler computational requirement relative to the RBF and the FFLE     

On the equivalence of the simultaneous and separate MMSEoptimizations of a DFE FFF and FBF

There is great interest in the use of decision feedback equalization (DFE) to mitigate the effects of intersymbol interference (ISI) on wireless multipath fading channels. The coefficients of a DFE feedforward filter (FFF) and feedback filter (FBF) are usually adjusted based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. The equalizer coefficients can be calculated by recursive adaptation or by direct computation based on a channel estimate. The equivalence of the simultaneous and separate MMSE optimization of the FFF and FBF of a finite-length DFE is established
