Minimum Mean-Square-Error Equalization using Priors for Two-Dimensional Intersymbol Interference

Joint equalization and decoding schemes are described for two-dimensional intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. Equalization is performed using the minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) criterion. Low-density parity-check codes are used for error correction. The MMSE schemes are the extension of those proposed by Tuechler et al. (2002) for one-dimensional ISI channels. Extrinsic information transfer charts, density evolution, and bit-error rate versus signal-to-noise ratio curves are used to study the performance of the schemes.
