A signal reception method includes receiving a signal over a channel, producing a first equalized signal, a first interference suppression filter and a first estimate of the channel using a portion of a the received signal, dividing the received signal into a plurality of signal blocks, and for each one of the plurality of signal blocks, producing a second equalized signal using a portion of the first equalized signal by selecting from one of a linear estimator or a non-linear estimator and estimating symbols received in the one of the plurality of signal blocks based on the second equalized signal.
