The achievable information rates for multilevel coding (MLC) systems with multistage decoding (MSD) are examined on two-dimensional binary-input intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. One MSD scheme employs trellis-based detection, while another involves zero-forcing equalization and linear noise prediction. Information rates are determined by examining the output statistics at each stage of MSD. The first scheme is shown to achieve rates very close to known information-theoretic limits. Systems with low-density parity-check codes are then optimized to approach these rates
