Abstract
A decoder or a decoding method for decoding a data signal is provided by iteratively constructing a decoding tree comprising nodes, each representing a component of a symbol of a data signal, each iteration comprising, for a current node of the tree stored in the top of the stack; generating a reference child node of the current node from the data signal; from the reference child node, generating a first and second neighbor child nodes by subtracting/adding a positive integer parameter from/to the value of the reference node; storing in the stack three child nodes derived from the reference, first and second neighbor child nodes, the nodes stored in the stack being ordered by increasing values of a node metric; removing the current node stack; selecting the top node of the stack as the new current node. The data signal is estimated from the stack node information.
