An electronic device for a wireless communication system is described. The electronic device comprises: a receiver configured to receive a modulated signal on a communication channel; and a processor, coupled to the receiver and configured to: process the received modulated signal; identify a communication channel characteristic based on the processed received modulated signal; select an equalizer having a first set of equalization coefficients based on the identified communication channel characteristic, wherein the first set of equalization coefficients is selected from a plurality of equalization coefficients, each of the plurality of equalization coefficients being associated with different communication channel characteristics; equalize the processed received modulated signal on the communication channel using the selected equalizer; and detect the equalized received modulated signal.
