Abstract

We use the parametric channel identification algorithm proposed by Chen, Kim and Liang (see IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, p.1923-35, 1999) (to adaptively track the fast-fading channels for the multi-channel MLSE equalizer. The channel tracking scheme per-survivor processing recursive least square (PSP RLS) is considered. An analytic lower bound for the multi-channel MLSE equalizer in the time-varying specular multipath Rayleigh-fading channels is derived. Simulation results that illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms are presented, and then these results are compared with the analytic BER lower bound and with the conventional MLSE equalizers directly tracking the FIR channel taps. The proposed algorithm is shown to perform significantly better than the conventional adaptive MLSE algorithm
