Abstract
A wireless communications device and method carries out a process including estimating channel information based on a received signal; generating pseudo-transmission signal point candidates based on the channel information and/or transmission signal point candidates; and generating a replica of the received signal based on the pseudo-transmission signal point candidates and the estimated channel information. The process further includes performing matrix operations on the basis of the received signal and the replica thereof; selecting pseudo-transmission signal point candidates which have a greater effect on likelihood calculations; reverting the selected pseudo-transmission signal point candidates to original transmission signal point candidates and calculating final likelihoods; and restoring the received signal on the basis of the calculated likelihoods.
