There might be a way by implementing a "data-reusing" LMS algorithm.
This may increase convergence too with little hardware changes.  These
types of algs are discussed in an advanced topics on adaptive filtering
text (the book info escapes me at the moment).

As far as I know, the only way to improve MSE is to reduce the
step-size, but that slows convergence as you imply. Could you
oversample the system while reducing step-size so that the convergence
rate remains constant in real-time?

hi,
I have an adaptive equalizer which implements a dfe which works
reasonably well but I am trying to reduce the excess MSE after
convergence. What changes can I make by throwing in some more hardware
at it to get slightly lower MSE ? I am afraid I can afford only 2x~3x
more multipliers only. Any hope ? I am trying to keep my convergence
rate constant.

Thanks.
