Abstract

A maximum likelihood detection (MLD) method is disclosed. Received data is processed to obtain preliminary parameters. An initial radius r is determined. r2 is multiplied by a corresponding scaling factor according to a partial Euclidean distance (PED) constraint function to determine the upper limit values of PED for each layer. It is examined whether a sub-lattice exceeds a search scope according to the upper limit values of PED for each layer to search a better solution by utilizing the preliminary parameters.
