Abstract:
1. A method that facilitates equalization in a receiver chain, comprising: selecting, with a symbol selector component executing on a processor, a subset of a set of modulation symbols based at least in part upon available processing power, wherein more available processing power results in a selection of a larger number of modulation symbols in the subset; generating, with an equalizer function component executing on the processor, an equalizer matrix for each element of the subset of the set of modulation symbols, wherein channel estimates associated with the set of modulation symbols are correlated; generating, with an interpolation component executing on the processor, an interpolated equalizer matrix for each element of the set of modulation symbols not included in the subset utilizing interpolation of the equalizer matrices; equalizing, with an equalization component executing on the processor, the subset of modulation symbols as a function of the equalizer matrices; and equalizing, with the equalization component executing on the processor, the modulation symbols not included in the subset as a function of the interpolated equalizer matrices.
