Apparatus and method for receiver in multiple antenna system

摘要

Detection apparatus and method for achieving performance close to a Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection having optimal performance and reducing computational complexity in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system including a plurality of transmit antennas and receive antennas are provided. The apparatus includes a hard decision part for confirming an initial hard decision value of a receive symbol vector; a candidate symbol selector for selecting candidate symbols restricted to neighbor values of the initial hard decision value; and an interference canceller for canceling interference in the selected candidate symbols and selecting a final candidate symbol from the received symbols using a result of the interference cancellation.
