Adaptive Minimum Symbol-Error-Rate Decision Feedback Equalization for Multilevel Pulse-Amplitude Modulation

Adaptive minimum symbol-error rate equalization for quadrature-amplitude modulation

We propose the adaptive minimum symbol-error rate algorithm, which is a low-complexity technique for adapting the coefficients of a linear equalizer in systems using pulse-amplitude or quadrature-amplitude modulation. The proposed algorithm very nearly minimizes error probability in white Gaussian noise and can significantly outperform the minimum-mean-squared error equalizer (by as much as 16 ...

Stochastic Gradient Adaptive Minimum Symbol-Error-Rate Equalization for Multi-Level Pulse-Amplitude Modulation

Adaptive Minimum Symbol-Error-Rate CDMA Linear Multiuser Detector for Pulse-Amplitude Modulation

An adaptive minimum symbol error rate (MSER) linear multiuser detector (MUD) is proposed for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems employing multilevel pulseamplitude modulation ( -PAM) scheme. Based on a kernel density estimation for approximating the symbol error rate (SER) from training data, a least mean squares (LMS) style stochastic gradient algorithm called the ...

Adaptive minimum bit-error rate equalization for binary signaling

We consider the design and adaptation of a linear equalizer with a finite number of coefficients in the context of a classical linear intersymbol-interference channel with Gaussian noise and a memoryless decision device. If the number of equalizer coefficients is sufficient, the popular minimum mean-squared-error (MMSE) linear equalizer closely approximates the optimal linear equalizer that dir...

Minimum Symbol-Error-Rate Equalisation

The equalisation topic is well researched and a variety of solutions are available. The MAP sequence detector provides the lowest symbol error rate (SER) attainable, and the MLSE offers a near optimal solution. However, these optimal techniques are not yet practical for high-level modulation schemes, due to their computational complexity. Linear equaliser or linear-combiner DFE are practical sc...
