Abstract
Initial values of the tap weights for the taps of a linear equalizer are determined based on a channel impulse response of a channel so that the values corresponding to the weights of the equalizer taps achieve optimum initialization of the equalizer. These values are determined through use of a nested summation where the number of summations is dependent upon the number of multi-paths characterizing the channel.
