Worst case equalizer for noncoherent HIPERLAN receivers

Coherent detection of HIPERLAN Gaussian minimum-shift keying signals calls for complex and expensive receivers. However, when the channel delay spread is limited to at the most 50% of the symbol time and a reliable line-of-sight component of the radiated signal exists (Rician fading model), noncoherent detectors are capable of achieving a good performance. Based on the above motivations, we compare four different demodulation techniques, namely the following: (1) one-bit differential detector; (2) discriminator detector; (3) limiter discriminator detector; and (4) limiter discriminator integrator detector (LDID). The intersymbol interference introduced by these demodulators is nonlinear (with respect to the data symbols) and a decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) based on a mean square-error criterion may not be appropriate. Moreover, at this high speed, a DFE may be very complex to implement. Hence, we propose a new DFE design method that increases the eye-diagram aperture by removing the worst case interference. Performance of the above demodulators in the presence of a simple nonlinear DFE (with feedback part only) is computed in terms of the bit-error rate (BER) by means of the saddle-point approximation. This procedure, for static channels, turns out to be a very general tool with a simple and robust implementation. The same method can be applied, for multipath fading channels, to the BER evaluation as part of a semianalytic approach. The main conclusion from this work is that for LDID demodulators and in the presence of Rician fading channels with an average normalized root mean square delay spread of 0.3 and dual antenna diversity, the new equalizer lowers the outage probability from 60% to 10% at a BER of 10^-4     

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

Theoretical and Measured Performance of a DFE Modem on a Fading Multipath Channel

A decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) is the basis of a recent development of a quadruple diversity troposcatter modem which can operate up to a data rate of 12.6 Mbit/s in a 99% bandwidth of 15 MHz. In this paper a theoretical approach is developed for the calculation of average bit error rate (ABER), including the effects of intersymbol interference due to multipath and the finiteness of the transversal filters used to realize the DFE. By omitting the intersymbol interference effect, the calculation provides a lower bound which can be used to assess the intersymbol interference penalty for a particular DFE structure. The paper includes calculations of a DFE configuration which has a three tap forward filter with tap spacing equal to one-half a symbol interval. Measured performance results from fading channel simulator tests of a three tap forward filter DFE are presented for data rates from 1.5 to 12.6 Mbit/s and for a wide range of multipath statistical conditions. The results for this DFE configuration show (1) excellent agreement between calculated and measured ABER, (2) a small intersymbol interference penalty when the 2σ multipath spread is less than approximnately one-half the data symbol interval, and (3) successful operation at values of multipath spread up to twice the data symbol interval. In a sequel to this paper, the results of a field test of the DFE modem are presented. These live links test results are consistent with both the calculated and simulator measured data presented here.     

RLS Algorithm with Variable Fogetting Factor for Decision Feedback Equalizer over Time-Variant Fading Channels

In a high-rate indoor wireless personal communication system, the delay spread due to multipath propagation results in intersymbol interference (ISI) which can significantly increase the transmission bit error rate (BER). Decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is an efficient approach to combating the ISI. Recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm with a constant forgetting factor is often used to update the tap-coefficient vector of the DFE for ISI-free transmission. However, using a constant forgetting factor may not yield the optimal performance in a nonstationary environment. In this paper, an adaptive algorithm is developed to obtain a time-varying forgetting factor. The forgetting factor is used with the RLS algorithm in a DFE for calculating the tap-coefficient vector in order to minimize the squared equalization error due to input noise and due to channel dynamics. The algorithm is derived based on the argument that, for optimal filtering, the equalization errors should be uncorrelated. The adaptive forgetting factor can be obtained based on on-line equalization error measurements. Computer simulation results demonstrate that better transmission performance can be achieved by using the RLS algorithm with the adaptive forgetting factor than that with a constant forgetting factor previously proposed for optimal steady-state performance or a variable forgetting factor for a near deterministic system.     

An adaptive RAM-DFE for storage channels

A modification of the decision feedback equalizer (DFE), RAM-DFE, is presented and analyzed for use in channels with trailing nonlinear intersymbol interference, especially binary saturation-recording channels. In the RAM-DFE, a look-up table, which can be easily implemented with random access memory, (RAM), replaces the transversal filter feedback section of the DFE. The feedforward section of the equalizer remains linear. A general nonlinear Markov (or finite-state machine) model is used to model the nonlinear intersymbol interference (ISI) channel. With this Markov model, a method is introduced for computing the minimum-mean-squared-error settings of the feedforward filter coefficients and the feedback filter and look-up table contents for the linear DFE and the RAM-DFE, respectively. RAM-DFE with these settings can be significantly better than the linear DFE for channels with trailing nonlinear ISI. Globally convergent gradient-type algorithms for updating the feedforward section coefficients and the contents of the feedback table are introduced and analyzed. Results based on data taken from disk storage units are discussed     

A quadratic sigmoid neural equalizer for nonlinear digital magneticrecording channels

A new neural equalizer is proposed in order to compensate for intersymbol interference and to mitigate nonlinear distortions in digital magnetic recording systems. The proposed equalizer uses the quadratic sigmoid function as the activation function. The performance of the proposed equalizer is compared to those of a decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) and a neural decision feedback equalizer (NDFE) in terms of bit-error rate in nonlinear digital magnetic recording channels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed equalizer outperforms both DFE and NDFE     

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     

A Hybrid Domain Block Equalizer for Single-Carrier Modulated Systems

Poor performance in the presence of multipath with long delay spread has been considered as one of the main weaknesses of most single carrier modulated systems, including ATSC (advanced television systems committee) system. The introduction of distributed transmission network and single frequency network brings new challenges for the ATSC equalizer design, since the delay spread of a multipath channel under such scenarios becomes significantly longer than the traditional broadcasting practice of using one high power transmitter to cover a wide area, where the multipath distortion is mainly from reflected echoes. An iterative hybrid frequency-time domain equalizer for ATSC system is proposed in this paper based on our block-based interference analysis. The multipath distortion in the received ATSC signal is first tentatively removed with a frequency domain equalizer on a block-by-block basis. However, inter-block and intra-block interferences still exist due to the lack of cyclic structure in the received ATSC signal. A time domain interference cancellation algorithm is then used to cancel the inter-block interference and intra-carrier interference, based on the tentative decisions in time domain after the frequency domain equalization. These two steps are iterated until desired receiver performance is achieved. The proposed equalizer and the subsequent analysis are verified through numerical simulations.     

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.
