Coding and Equalization for Radio Channels

Many communications channels are appropriately modeled as frequency-selective and linear, and such channels introduce intersymbol interference. Equalization can be employed for such channels if the time variation is slow. In this thesis, three equalization methods which are compatible with trellis codes are considered: maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE), reduced-state sequence estimation (RSSE), and combined minimum-mean-square error decision-feedback equalization (MMSE-DFE) and Viterbi decoding.
