Abstract
A method is provided for soft-decision sphere decoding for softbit computation which can be applied to all sphere decoding algorithms, in particular sphere decoding algorithms in any MIMO OFDM receiver implementations. Complexity reduction is achieved by using an approximate of linear Euclidean distances during the sphere decoding search. The method can be used in conjunction with MIMO OFDM communication systems like LTE, WiMax and WLAN.
