Interior Point Least Squares Estimation: Transient Convergence Analysis and Application to MMSE Decision–Feedback Equalization

In many communication systems, training sequences are used to help the receiver identify and/or equalize the channel. The amount of training data required depends on the convergence properties of the adaptive filtering algorithms used for equalization. In this paper, we propose the use of a new adaptive filtering method called interior point least squares (IPLS) for adaptive equalization. First, we show that IPLS converges exponentially fast in …
