First we show that, if the feedback filter (FBF) length Nb is equal to or larger than the channel memory v and the decision delay Δ is smaller than the feedforward filter (FFF) length Nf, then only the first Δ+1 elements of the FFF can be nonzero. Based on this result we prove that the maximum effective FBF length is equal to the channel memory v, and if Nb ≥ v and Nf is long enough, the optimum decision delay that minimizes the MMSE is Nf-1.
