Abstract
An exemplary decoder is provided for decoding a signal received through a transmission channel in a communication system. The exemplary decoder comprises a transformation unit configured to determine a set of auxiliary channel matrices, each auxiliary channel matrix being determined by performing a linear combination of at least one of the column vectors of the channel matrix; a decomposition unit configured to determine a decomposition of each auxiliary channel matrix into an upper triangular matrix and an orthogonal matrix; a matrix selection unit configured to select at least one auxiliary channel matrix among the set of auxiliary channel matrices depending on a selection criterion related to the components of the upper triangular matrices. The decoder determines at least one estimate of vector of information symbols from an auxiliary signal and from the upper triangular matrix corresponding to a selected auxiliary channel matrix by applying a decoding algorithm.
