Abstract
An equalization method and apparatus for equalizing a plurality of input signals received on a multichannel link leverages shared equalization resources to generate dedicated tap coefficients for application to the signals and updates the dedicated tap coefficients upon measured degradation in the quality of the signals. The equalization method and apparatus achieves acceptable bit error rates with relatively low overhead.
