A receiver circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a decision feedback equalizer (DFE), a slicer, and a timing error detector (TED). The DFE is coupled to the ADC, and includes a first tap and a second tap. The slicer is coupled to the DFE. The TED is coupled to the slicer. The TED is configured to initialize timing of a sampling clock provided to the ADC while initializing the second tap of the DFE and holding the first tap of the DFE at a constant value.

A communication device is provided that includes a baseband circuit and a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal and a projected signal. The baseband circuit is configured to determine the projected signal based on an estimated signal state information such that an energy of a shaped projected signal is smaller than an energy of a shaped signal. The estimated signal state information is an estimate of a signal state information based on the first signal and a received signal that is received by a receiver of the second communication device. The shaped projected signal is the projected signal received by the receiver of the second communication device and filtered by a filter of the second communication device. The shaped signal is the received signal filtered by the filter of the second communication device.

Signals transmitted on the backhaul links of a cloud radio access network may be compressed using joint compression encoding. Joint compression encoding may be performed using a successive estimation-compression architecture. Joint compression encoding may include designing preceding matrices that may be used with signal compression. Joint compression encoding may be applied to signals transmitted on the downlink of the cloud radio access network. One or more baseband signals to be delivered over the backhaul links may be jointly compressed using multivariate compression. Multivariate compression may be implemented using successive compression based on a sequence of minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimations and per BS compression.
