Abstract

In this paper, a second stage for algorithms applying iterative soft decision interference cancellation (ISDIC), for channel equalization is proposed performing error search and correction. Analysis by simulations shows that a matched filter (MF) ISDIC with subsequent second stage can outperform a more complex minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) ISDIC. Furthermore, the latter can be improved by the proposed second stage by up to 2 dB. It is shown that the ISDIC scheme with following second stage can reach the matched filter bound up to a fraction of a dB for all analyzed channels and 4QAM transmission and up to 1 dB for 16QAM transmission. In [1] it has been reported that the MF ISDIC performs very well for highly dispersive channels, e.g. with 60 symbol-spaced paths, but for channels of moderate dispersion an error floor occurs. Utilizing performance bounds for delayed decision-feedback sequence estimation (DDFSE) we show that now already for channels of moderate length, e.g. 20 symbol-spaced taps, even the low-complexity MF ISDIC with the proposed subsequent second stage outperforms a DDFSE approach with about 109 states.
