Efficient reinitialization of the prewhitened constant modulus algorithm

We present a reinitialization scheme for blind equalizers adapted via the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) when an all-pole prefilter is included to whiten the received signal. The mechanism exploits the special structure of the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizers and their relation with CMA equalizers. A heuristic rule for blind determination of the best equalization delay is also provided. Using these guidelines, the equalizer is capable of finding the optimal setting in an online and computationally efficient fashion. In particular, estimation and inversion of the channel output autocorrelation matrix is not needed, in contrast with previous approaches.
