| 20080232500 | Soft Output Sphere Decoding Method - Provided is a soft output sphere decoding method for a MIMO system. The soft output sphere decoding method includes the steps of: detecting a maximum likelihood symbol nearest to a receiving signal; calculating a lattice point nearest to the receiving signal and having a symbol bit opposite to the detected maximum likelihood symbol for all bits of the receiving signal; and calculating a ratio between a distance from the receiving signal to the detected maximum likelihood symbol and a distance from the receiving signal to the calculated lattice points for each bit. | 09-25-2008 |
