Error correction method and error correction apparatus

Abstract

This application provides an error correction method, relates to the field of communications technologies, so as to reduce a bit error rate of a DFE and improve equalization performance. The method includes: obtaining a decision signal of a decision feedback equalizer DFE; obtaining at least one of an input signal, an equalized output signal, and a difference of the DFE, where the difference is a difference between a level value of the decision signal and a level value of the equalized output signal; determining a symbol location of an end of burst error of the decision signal based on detection of at least one of the decision signal, the equalized output signal, and the difference; and when the symbol location is detected, performing error correction on the decision signal based on the at least one of the input signal, the equalized output signal, and the difference.
