Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a signal in a receiver; generating, by a sequence estimation module of the receiver, estimated symbols corresponding to the received signal, wherein the generating of the estimated symbols uses tap information associated with one or both of a pulse shaper via which the signal was transmitted and an input filter of the receiver; generating, by the sequence estimation module, a reconstructed signal, wherein the reconstructed signal is generated based on the estimated symbols and the tap information; adapting a plurality of tap coefficients of a feed forward equalizer (FFE) of the receiver based on the reconstructed signal; equalizing the received signal via the FFE; utilizing a determined loop gain to adjust a convergence time of the adaptation of the plurality of tap coefficients of the FFE; and determining to adjust the convergence time based on a noise level of an output signal of the FFE.
