Summary :

In a high-rate indoor wireless personal communication system, the delay spread due to multi-path propagation results in intersymbol interference which can significantly increase the transmission bit error rate (BER). The technique most commonly used for combating the intersymbol interference and frequency-selective fading found in communications channels is the adaptive equalization. In this paper, we propose a novel neural detector based on self-organizing map (SOM) to improve the system performance of the receiver. In the proposed scheme, the SOM is used as an adaptive detector of equalizer, which updates the decision levels to follow the received faded signal. To adapt the proposed scheme to the time-varying channel, we use the Euclidean distance, which will be updated automatically according to the received faded signal, as an adaptive radius to define the neighborhood of the winning neuron of the SOM algorithm. Simulations on a 16 QAM system show that the receiver using the proposed neural detector has a significantly better BER performance than the traditional receiver.
