Abstract

The present invention relates to a decoding device and method for a MIMO system. A linear process is applied to a received signal vector by using a channel matrix estimated from the received signal vector and a poly-diagonalized matrix, and a soft decision value is acquired through a trellis decode by using the linear process result. Since the linear preprocess is performed by using the poly-diagonalized matrix, it is possible to receive a MIMO signal having good packet error rate performance and less complexity. Also, since the tail-biting trellis decoding method is used based on the poly-diagonalized matrix that is generated by poly-diagonalizing the effective channel matrix during the process for eliminating the signal interference, the soft decision value for the symbol can be generated with a simple hardwired device and less operation complexity.
