Abstract

The present invention provides systems and methods for mitigating interference on a received signal by providing an equalizer having a truncated response time preceded by a linear filter which compensates for the truncated response time. The invention also provides methods and systems for mitigating the interference on a received signal by providing a receiver having a filter, an equalizer with a truncated response time and a symbol mapper using a symbol mapping technique that takes advantage of noise correlation produced by the equalizer by adjusting symbol mapping boundaries accordingly.
