Abstract: One or more techniques to iteratively detect (320) and decode data transmitted in a wireless ( e . g ., MIMO-OFDM) communication system, featuring a MIMO detector and a soft input soft-output (SISO) error-correction-code (ECC) decoder. More specifically, a method suitable for iterative detection and decoding schemes is proposed, which is able to output near optimal bit soft information ( e . g ., log-likelihood ratios, LLRs) processing efficiently given input bit soft information. First, a transmitting source is selected as a reference layer, wherein the associated symbol represents a reference transmit symbol. Subsequently, a set of candidate values are identified for the reference transmit symbol. For each candidate value a candidate transmit sequence ( U t ( X )) is estimated (616) through a novel spatial decision feedback equalization (DFE) process based on both Euclidean distance metrics and the a-priori soft information ( L a ) provided by the SISO ECC decoder. The novel DFE technique uses a novel bit metric. Techniques are provided to identify a reduced size transmit symbol candidate set and generate from it near-optimal LLRs, also processing input a-priori LLRs in an iterative fashion.
