Toby, for me the term equalization is equivalent to sequence detection in ISI channels. If by equalization you mean linear or decision feedback equalization this is another story. I am not sure how the gr-trellis stuff will be useful to you if you do not want to do sequence detection, but some

From your reply I think you are referring to problem 1B. I am indeed. This is great. I did not know you had checked in the siso code in gr_trellis. I am now more anxious to go study it more carefully. I am glad I commented. As a side note, this algorithm is the basis of all

Oliver, You are right: Trellis implementation supports multi-dimensional constellations etc (through the metric calculation block abstraction, etc), however, in the examples and the supporting fsm_utils.py files I have not included support for GMSK, and the automatic generation of lookup tables

Achilleas, Okay. I am primarily interested in the equalization for the time being, but I can see it would seem to make a lot of sense to create the sequence detection as well. In terms of making the isi lookup table for multidimensional modulations, whats the best way to go about it? Is there
