The application of iterative equalisation to high data rate wireless personal area networks

There is increasing demand for broadband wireless personal area networking devices, mainly fuelled by mobile multimedia applications such as wireless home networks. This paper investigates the suitability of iterative equalisation as a means of achieving low bit error rates in a future high data rate extension to Bluetooth. Baseband simulation results demonstrate the powerful ISI mitigation and error correcting performance of such receivers when operating in wideband channels.
