The present invention relates to the field of communication devices, e.g. wireless communication devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to the field of signal equalisation, especially minimum mean square error equalisation. The present invention especially relates to an equaliser for a communication device, a method of equalising one or more received signals and a software program product for carrying out the method. The present invention reduces the size of a look-up table needed for a division operation and, generally, provides for a reduced complexity of the equaliser and receiver. The equaliser for a communication device comprises a filter calculator for determining a channel power value based on one or more channel response values and selecting one of two or more equaliser structures based on said channel power value and based on at least one threshold value for separating the channel power values into at least two ranges; and a filter for equalising one or more received signals according to the selected equaliser structure. At least one of said equaliser structures corresponds to an, at least approximated, minimum mean square error equaliser structure or to an, at least approximated, suboptimal minimum mean square error equaliser structure.
