<p>A receiver for a mobile communication device comprises an primary detector for generating an initial sequence estimate comprising a plurality of initial symbol estimates from a received symbol sequence corrupted by intersymbol interference, and a secondary detector to receive said initial sequence estimate and to output a final sequence estimate comprising a plurality of final symbol estimates. The secondary detector comprises a sequence generator configured to generate one or more revised sequence estimates by replacing at least one initial symbol estimate in said initial sequence estimate with a corresponding nearest neighbor symbol in each of said revised symbol estimates; an error calculator to compute error metrics for said revised sequence estimates; and a selection circuit to compare error metrics for said initial and revised sequence estimates and to output one of said initial or revised sequence estimates as said final sequence estimate based on said error metrics.</p> |
