Abstract

Sparse channel equalization may be achieved by receiving a signal via a multi-path communication channel. The equalization then continues by extracting sparse information regarding the multiple path communication channel from the signal. Such sparse information generally indicates the position of the signals received via each of the multiple paths. The equalization then continues by estimating a channel response of the multiple path communication channel based on the sparse information. The equalization then continues by generating equalization taps (or coefficients) based on the channel response. The equalization then continues by equalizing the signal based on the equalization taps.
