Abstract

The paper compares performance of finite impulse response (FIR) adaptive linear equalizers based on the recursive least-squares (RLS) and least mean square (LMS) algorithms in nonstationary uncorrelated scattering wireless channels. Simulation results, in terms of steady-state mean-square estimation error (MSE) and average bit-error rate (BER) metrics, are found for the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading wireless channel experienced in a mobile ad hoc network where nodes are lognormally shadowed from each other. For the nonstationary channel models considered, RLS is always found to outperform LMS.
