EDGE data receiver design

Data receiver design is one of the most challenging tasks in EDGE terminal implementation. We outline critical design considerations for data receiver and describe their impact on the receiver performance. Sensitivity of the design to specific receiver parameters is illustrated, showing that overall solution requires complex balance between channel estimation, synchronization, equalization and soft bit information for channel decoding.
