Performance of Viterbi equalisers for the GSM system

The author presents performance figures validating the choice of slot parameters and channel estimation procedures. In doing so, comparisons are made between two types of equaliser, both of which are based on the Viterbi algorithm (VA), performing maximum-likelihood sequence estimation of the incoming data sequence. Computer simulation is used to characterise the performance of both structures under a range of static and dynamic channel conditions, and typical results are presented for these.<
