1. A method of designing a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for handling packet based complementary code keyed (CCK) symbols comprising chips, the method comprising the steps:
providing an inter symbol interference (ISI) loop for addressing removal of ISI caused between said CCK symbols, using symbol decisions;
providing an inter chip interference (ICI) loop for addressing removal of ICI caused between said chips of said CCK symbols in said ICI loop, using chip decisions; and,
placing said ICI loop to be nested within said ISI loop such that said packet based CCK symbols first enter the ISI loop.
