Advanced Iterative Equalization Methods

Abstract
In this work, we address a well studied problem of the iterative equalization (uncoded and coded). Even though that the two known uncoded iterative equalizers, the ISDIC and the MMSE ISDIC equalizers, were introduced and investigated more than a decade ago, there is no practical solution to the high complexity of the MMSE ISDIC and the low performance of the ISDIC. In this work, we introduce a novel, low complexity and high performance equalizer, the Multiple Symbol (MS) ISDIC equalizer. The MS ISDIC equalizer is the first equalizer that bridges the gap between the low complexity ISDIC equalizer to the high complexity MMSE ISDIC. In addition, we introduce the Constant Filter MS ISDIC (CF MS ISDIC), which is even a lower complexity version of MS ISDIC equalizer. Then, the two MS ISDIC versions will be incorporated into the Turbo Equalizer (TEQ) scheme, resulting in an enhanced TEQ, that perform better than the conventional, state of the art, linear TEQ, with lower complexity and lower amount of iterations.
