Abstract
Communication device adapted for receiving a MIMO signal is provided. The device comprises a first detector adapted to perform a first symbol detection on the MIMO signal using a first detection method, a detection error determination unit adapted to determine a first detection error of the first symbol detection, a detection error judging unit adapted to determine if the first detection error is above or below a detection threshold, and a second detector, adapted to perform a second symbol detection on the MIMO signal using a second detection method, if the detection error judging unit has determined that the first detection error is above the detection threshold. The communication device is adapted to use results of the symbol detection as final symbol detection results, if the detection error judging unit has determined that the first detection error is below the detection threshold.
