The present disclosure provides techniques for bandwidth constrained communication systems with frequency domain information processing. A bandwidth constrained equalized transport (BCET) communication system can include a transmitter, a communication channel, and a receiver. The transmitter can include a pulse-shaping filter that intentionally introduces memory into a signal in the form of inter-symbol interference, an error control code (ECC) encoder, a multidimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing block that processes the signal in the frequency domain, and a first interleaver. The receiver can include an information-retrieving equalizer, a deinterleaver with an ECC decoder, and a second interleaver joined in an iterative ECC decoding loop. The communication system can be bandwidth constrained, and the signal can comprise an information rate that is higher than that of a communication system without intentional introduction of the memory at the transmitter.

A receiving station performs first signal detection processing on a received radio signal, performs a retransmission request to a transmitting station in a case in which a code error is detected in a detected radio packet for user data, and enqueues the radio packet in a reception buffer in a case in which no code error is detected. In parallel with the first signal detection processing, the receiving station performs second signal detection processing on the received signal with a longer processing delay than that of the first signal detection processing, and in a case in which no code error is detected in the detected radio packet for user data, the receiving station enqueues the radio packet in the reception buffer. The receiving station outputs, at a predetermined timing, the radio packet for user data with no code error detected, the radio packet being enqueued in the reception buffer.

An integrated circuit for generating an equalized signal, according to a channel, from serial data includes a shift register that extracts a symbol sequence from the serial data. A data storage stores values of an equalized digital signal corresponding to potential symbol sequences corresponding to a filter coefficient sequence. A lookup table outputs the equalized digital signal of a value corresponding to the extracted symbol sequence. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts the equalized digital signal into the equalized signal. A controller refreshes the lookup table, based on at least one of values stored in the data storage and values included in the lookup table, in response to a control signal.

An integrated receiver supports adaptive receive equalization. An incoming bit stream is sampled using edge and data clock signals derived from a reference clock signal. A phase detector determines whether the edge and data clock signals are in phase with the incoming data, while some clock recovery circuitry adjusts the edge and data clock signals as required to match their phases to the incoming data. The receiver employs the edge and data samples used to recover the edge and data clock signals to note the locations of zero crossings for one or more selected data patterns. The pattern or patterns may be selected from among those apt to produce the greatest timing error. Equalization settings may then be adjusted to align the zero crossings of the selected data patterns with the recovered edge clock signal.
