A description of various ways to deal with the problem of intersymbol interference which occurs in bandlimited channels.
Precoding
The data symbols are manipulated such that
Design of bandlimited modulation signals
Recall that modulation signals are
We can design
such that
where
(ISI is the sum term, and once again,
.)
Also,
The signal
can be designed to have reduced ISI.
Design equalizers at the receiver
Linear equalizers or decision feedback equalizers reduce ISI
in the statistic
Maximum likelihood sequence detection
By observing
the date symbols are observed frequently. Therefore, ISI can
be viewed as diversity to increase performance.
