✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we propose an adaptive maximum-likelihood (ML) sequence estimator with RLS channel estimation, which is assisted by forward error control (FEC) coding. The reliable symbols reconstructed in the FEC decoder are used as the feedback signal to the RLS channel estimator. The scheme is compared with decision feedback equalization (DFE) with RLS algorithm, which is assisted by FEC coding. Computer simulations show that in frequency-selective fast fading mobile radio channels, the proposed scheme performs better at moderate Doppler frequencies. It is suitable for four-phase modulation data transmission at the rate of several 10 kb/s in 900 MHz band or in the 1800 MHz band.
