Abstract

The turbo equalizer based on the BCJR algorithm has an exponential computational complexity in terms of channel memory length. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft-input/soft-output (SISO) channel detector for intersymbol interference (ISI) channels based on tentative hard estimates fed back from the outer decoder in the previous iteration. It is shown that the proposed detector can greatly reduce the complexity with a negligible performance loss compared to the BCJR algorithm
