Vanbleu, K Cuypers, G Moonen, M Ysebaert, G On time-domain and frequency-domain MMSE-based TEQ design for DMT transmission IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 3311-3324 53 We reconsider the minimum mean square error (MMSE) time-domain equalizer (TEQ), bitrate maximizing TEQ (BM-TEQ), and per-tone equalizer design (PTEQ) for discrete multitone (DMT) transmission and cast them in a common least-squares (LS) based framework. The MMSE- TEQ design criterion can be formulated as a constrained linear least-squares (CLLS) criterion that minimizes a time-domain (TD) error energy. From this CLLS-based TD-MMSE-TEQ criterion, we derive two new least-squares (LS) based frequency-domain (FD) MMSE-TEQ design criteria: a CLLS-based FD-MMSE-TEQ criterion and a so-called separable nonlinear LS (SNLLS) based FD-MMSE-TEQ design. Finally, the original BM-TEQ design is shown to be equivalent to a so-called iteratively-reweighted (IR) version of the SNLLS-based FD-MMSE-TEQ design. This LS-based framework then results in the following contributions. The new, IR-SNLLS-based BM-TEQ design criterion gives rise to an elegant, iterative, fast converging, Gauss-Newton-based design algorithm that exploits the separability property. The intermediate FD-MMSE-TEQ designs establish a link between the TD- MMSE-TEQ on one hand and the BM-TEQ and the PTEQ on the other hand. Moreover, the considered LS-based equalizer designs-although at first sight very different in nature-exhibit remarkable correspondence when turned into equivalent generalized eigenvalue problems. eng DMT modulation; Gauss Newton based design algorithm; MMSE; bitrate maximizing TEQ; channel shortening; discrete multitone transmission; frequency domain; generalized eigenvalue problems; iteratively reweighted inversion; least squares based framework; minimum mean square error; per tone equalizer design; separable nonlinear least square; time domain equalizer; 2005
