Summary :

We propose a novel simplified Viterbi equalizer for high symbol rate FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) systems carrying 64QAM signals. Reduced complexity and improved performance are achieved adopting two approaches. The first one is reducing the number of survival paths, taking advantage of the large D/U common in LOS (line of sight) communications. The second one is using a multi-stage process to generate desired signal replicas based on their likelihoods. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed replica generation method offers a performance improvement of about 1 dB and the proposed Viterbi equalizer offers reduced complexity with no performance penalty compared to full Viterbi equalizer.
