AbstractIn this contribution the MLSE approach is applied to the concatenation of equalizer and channel decoder. An equalization algorithm is presented which delivers the optimal soft-decision information for the channel decoder in case of ideal interleaving. From computer simulations for an application example a significant soft-decision gain can be obtained. Simplified variants with a complexity comparable to a conventional Viterbi equalizer are presented which perform almost as good as the optimum.
