Simulating Intersymbol Interference on channels

[maverick280857]

Hi

I'd appreciate help with the following problem:

Suppose I have a Bayesian metric for navigating a trellis to detect the maximum likelihood sequence on a channel corrupted by ISI. The usual Viterbi algorithm works on the usual ML (nonstochastic channel) metric. Now, given the expression for this metric, how can I use MATLAB to simulate the channel? What is the approach to solve such a problem?

Any pointers to existing books or papers on elementary simulation methods would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Given the expression for the metric, how do I find the bit error rate?

ping @jedishrfu Do you know what he's talking about? Spring clean.

The jedi is in. What's up here?

Greg initiated an old threads cleanup a few months ago and Wrichik and others have been at work cleaning up or deleting the old threads. Basically we add more commentary or references to help future readers who may stumble upon the thread during a google search.

Yes, this thread is one of those spring cleaning workshop ones. I was hoping you could comment technically on the OP's question.
