Encoding and channel convolution and the corresponding equalization and decoding are a serial concatenation. One might consider the solution to be iterative equalization and decoding in a Turbo fashion. We are showing that it is not necessary to run LDPC decoding and equalization as separate entities in a Turbo manner, but integrate decision-feedback equalization (DFE) directly into the LDPC decoder, performing DFE-like operations as part of the LDPC message passing.
