Patent ID: 8681910

Claim:
A hybrid equalization system for use in a receiver of a wireless communication system, comprising: a decision feedback equalization device for receiving a sampled baseband signal and performing an equalization operation on the sampled baseband signal so as to generate a first estimated symbol; a target channel impulse response device connected to the decision feedback equalization device for receiving the first estimated symbol so as to generate a target channel impulse response and a training symbol corresponding to the target channel impulse response according to a predetermined target channel response function; a maximum likelihood sequence estimation device connected to the target channel impulse response device for receiving the sampled baseband signal, the target channel impulse response, and the training symbol so as to perform a maximum likelihood sequence estimation on the sampled baseband signal trained by the training symbol and generate a second estimated symbol; and a multiplexer connected to the decision feedback equalization device and the maximum likelihood sequence estimation device for selecting the first estimated symbol or the second estimated symbol as an output of the hybrid equalization system according to a selection signal.
