Abstract
Provided is a maximum likelihood decoding method that includes the steps of; firstly arranging channel impulse responses corresponding to the received signals in a plurality of different orders; secondly specifying the same number of parts as the plurality of different orders in which the channel impulse responses are arranged, so that the received signals are placed in each of the parts; thirdly generating channel matrices each having the channel impulse responses as matrix elements, by using the channel impulse responses arranged in the plurality of different orders, obtaining triangular matrices by applying QR decomposition to the generated channel matrices, and determining at least one combination candidate for each of the parts of the plurality of transmission signals by using the obtained triangular matrices; and fourthly selecting the combination candidates so that a Euclidean distance between the combination candidates determined in the third step is shortest.
