Abstract
An embodiment of a method for decoding a received signal function of at least a channel matrix B, and of a first and second symbols S1, and S2 belonging to a signal constellation. The method comprises the steps of: selecting a set of values of the first symbol S1 in the signal constellation; for each selected value of the first symbol S1: estimating the value of the second symbol S2 to generate an estimated value of the second symbol; calculating an Euclidean distance between the received signal and a noiseless signal defined by the first symbol with said selected value and by the second symbol with said estimated value; selecting the minimal Euclidean distance among the Euclidean distances respectively calculated for the different selected values of the set of possible values of the first symbol; and selecting decoded first and second symbols corresponding to the selected minimum Euclidean distance.
