Abstract: Systems and methods of receiving data in a communication system are disclosed. The methods include equalizing a plurality of samples to suppress intersymbol interference and provide a first set of detected bits based on a first set of reference bits comprising a training sequence on a first iteration. The methods further include suppressing co-channel interference in the plurality of input samples and provide a set of suppressed samples based on a second set of reference bits comprising the first set of detected bits on a second iteration. The methods further include equalizing the set of suppressed samples to suppress intersymbol interference and provide a second set of detected bits based on the second set of reference bits on the second iteration.
