Abstract
According to an aspect of an embodiment, a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) may be configured for noise suppression slicing. The DFE may be configured to receive, from a feedforward equalizer, an output signal having a received (Rx) symbol. The DFE may be configured to initialize noise suppression slicer (NSS) parameters including one or more initial NSS coefficients and one or more initial slicer deferred decision (SDD) threshold offsets. The DFE may be configured to determine one or more updated NSS coefficients. The DFE may be configured to determine one or more updated SDD threshold offsets. The DFE may be configured to update the NSS parameters of a processing register based on the one or more updated NSS coefficients and the one or more updated SDD threshold offsets.
