Abstract
A simple modification of the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) slicer is proposed to reduce the effect of error propagation. A comparison of the performance of the modified DFE and conventional DFE is made for specific channels. On these channels, the modified DFE performs only marginally better than the conventional DFE in terms of average error probability, but may offer some advantages in terms of error probability conditioned on specific input sequences and in terms of the distribution of error burst lengths. Some examples are given, concerning binary PAM and multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) systems.

MMSE reception and successive interference cancellation for MIMO systems with high spectral efficiency

TL;DR: This paper considers the coherent detection of M-PSK signals in a flat Rayleigh-fading environment and focuses on spectrally efficient MIMO systems where, after serial-to-parallel conversion, several substreams of symbols are simultaneously transmitted by using an antenna array, thereby increasing the spectral efficiency.

An upper bound on the error probability in decision-feedback equalization

TL;DR: These results demonstrate that the decision-feedback equalizer has a lower error probability than the linear zero-forcing equalizer when there is both a high S/N ratio and a fast roll-off of the feedback tap gains.

Upper bounds to the error probability of decision feedback equalization

TL;DR: New upper bounds to the error probability of decision feedback equalization, which take error propagation into account, are developed and are valid for any noise process that has a symmetric and unimodal probability density function.
