In this paper, the effect of the Minimum-Mean-Square Error Decision Feedback Equalizer (MMSE-DFE) when combined with decoding that is applied to the coded transmission, is studied. When the length of MMSE-DFE is large, it is more realizable to use the decoding value as the decision value. Here, the DFE using the Nordstrom-Robinson (NR) decoding value is proposed. Through simulation and by testing results, the DFE combined with NR decoding shows better performance than the traditional DFE. Moreover, this paper supports an approach to cancel partial residual Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) that is caused by decision delay when DFE is combined with NR decoding.
