    Abstract: In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver employing channel estimation 10 and the `adaptive QR-decomposition with M' (AQRDM) algorithm 20, complexity is reduced when the number of transmitting antennas is large by grouping constellation sets 40 and dividing the tree search into partial detection phases (PDPs) 50, thus cutting the number of remaining branches at each detection point. Each of the G subsets Ai of constellation set E2 have the same cardinality (number of set elements) and can be grouped continuously (see fig. for 16QAM with G1=4) or dispersively (fig. 2B for 16QAM with G2=4). For each symbol, the minimum accumulated distance per PDP is calculated, and nodes for which this exceeds threshold (fig 3B) are removed in order to simplify the decision process.
