Abstract
A user equipment (UE) and a method are presented. The UE comprises a receiver unit and a processing circuit, and is configured for receiving wireless signals. The processing circuit is arranged for performing pre-detection of the received signals providing an initial estimation of transmitted signals. The processing circuit is also arranged for splitting the transmitted signal into disjoint subgroups, each one covering a subgroup of all layers used for the transmitted signal such that the subgroups together cover all the layers. The processing circuit is also arranged for interference cancellation performed on the subgroups of transmitted signals based on the initial estimation of the transmitted signals. The processing circuit is also arranged for detection of the subgroups of transmitted signals by utilization of an MLD algorithm, wherein the subgroup of layers within each one of the subgroups of transmitted signals is detected simultaneously.
