Shannon meets Wiener II: On MMSE estimation in successive decoding schemes

We continue to discuss why MMSE estimation arises in coding schemes that approach the capacity of linear Gaussian channels. Here we consider schemes that involve successive decoding, such as decision-feedback equalization or successive cancellation. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."-- A.
