Multichannel Algorithms for Simultaneous Equalization and Interference Suppression

This paper proposes techniques for simultaneous cancellation of intersymbol and interchannel or multi-access interference (ISI and ICI) that shows up in several multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) communication channels. Correlation and kurtosis based optimization criteria are derived for multi-channel decision feedback equalizers (MC-DFE) and compared with the popular Godard algorithm (CMA) and the minimum mean-square error in a decision directed mode (MMSE-DD). The proposed adaptive algorithms are easily extended to a scenario with more than two users with the computational complexity increasing linearly with the number of inputs. Simulation results show that the algorithms converge to the global minimum in a blind environment with channels that introduce moderate distortion.
