Equalization method for a parsimonious communication channel and device implementing the method, Patent US9722817 B2.

A method for equalizing a signal comprising modulated symbols comprising a block of N received symbols comprises: demultiplexing the N received symbols by factor L to generate a predetermined number L of sub-blocks of symbols, each comprising a version of the N received symbols sub-sampled by factor L, the independent equalization of each sub-block using an identical equalization algorithm, multiplexing the equalized symbols of each sub-block to obtain a block of N equalized symbols, removing instances of interference linked to paths other than two paths of higher power comprising generating an interference term resulting from the influence, on the equalized symbols, of all paths of the channel having the impulse response of the transmission channel except two paths of higher power, subtracting the interference term from the symbols of the block of N received symbols, and, a second equalization step equal to a second iteration of the first equalization step.
