Determine coefficients of a decision feedback equalizer from a sparse channel estimate

摘要

Determination of equalizer coefficients from a sparse channel estimate begins by determining location of significant taps based on the sparse channel estimate of a multiple path communication channel. The sparse channel estimate indicates the positioning of signals received via the various multiple paths of the channel. The method then continues by determining feed-forward equalization coefficients based on the location of the significant taps. The method then continues by determining feedback equalization coefficients based on the feed-forward equalization coefficients and the sparse channel estimate.
