A decision sequence generating method and an associated receiver with a
decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are provided. The receiver can mitigate
multi-path distortion generated when data is transmitted through a
multi-path channel, wherein the data is encoded into codewords, each of
which comprises N chips. The receiver comprises a decision generator for
generating N-1 chip decisions corresponding to first N-1 chips of a
received codeword and for producing a codeword decision corresponding to
the whole received codeword; and a feedback filter for reconstructing
post-cursor section of the multi-path channel impulse response. The
decision sequence generating method comprises sending the N-1 chip
decisions into the feedback filter in order, producing the codeword
decision after collecting all N chips of the received codeword, and then
providing the codeword decision to the feedback filter to replace the N-1
chip decisions sent previously, thereby reconstructing the post-cursor
section of the channel impulse response with more confidence.
