Methods and apparatuses for mimo detection

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions stored therein, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:

• a program instruction for considering a symbol vector received over a multiple-input, multiple-output system;
• and
• a program instruction for generating a list comprising a first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors based at least in part upon the received symbol vector using a trellis comprising a plurality of nodes that apply distributed list decoding to generate the list, wherein the list of the first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors comprises the first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors derived from the set of all possible trellis paths as determined based at least in part upon the respective cumulative trellis path weights.

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured to with the at least one processor cause the apparatus to at least:

• consider a symbol vector received over a multiple-input, multiple-output system;
• and
• generate a list comprising a first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors based at least in part upon the received symbol vector using a trellis comprising a plurality of nodes that apply distributed list decoding to generate the list, wherein the list of the first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors comprises the first predefined number of candidate transmit symbol vectors derived from the set of all possible trellis paths as determined based at least in part upon the respective cumulative trellis path weights.
