Article: 4 The Sphere Decoder: a universal lattice decoding algorithm.(antennas)

The Sphere Decoder is a ML decoder for arbitrary lattice constellations. It solves the closest lattice point problem, i.e., it finds the closest lattice point to a given received point. At the basis of the Sphere Decoder is the Finke-Pohst algorithm which enumerates all lattice points within a sphere centered at the origin [27]. With minor adaptations it is possible to obtain an efficient lattice decoder. Recent work [26] has shown that the Sphere Decoder can be formulated as a stack algorithm and shows its relation to other well-known detection algorithms. In this section we focus on the purely geometric interpretation of this algorithm.

The key idea which makes ...
