The derivation of these .algorithms is based on mapping the original constrained optimization problem in CN into a much simpler optimization problem in W2. Versions of the new algorithms are also developed for fractionally-spaced equalizers. Simulations on a baud-spaced and a fractionally-spaced channel support the potential of the resulting block-based techniques.
