Abstract
A method and system for determining a step size of an adaptive equalizer for a digital data receiver. The data received by the receiver includes coded symbols and uncoded symbols. The method includes determining a first error estimate based on decoded symbols corresponding to the coded symbols, determining a second error estimate based on the uncoded symbols, adaptively selecting the first error estimate or the second error estimate based on a convergence criterion, and determining a step size based on the selected error estimate.
