PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an M-algorithm processing method and a constitution thereof that have a smaller computational quantity than MLD and a smaller circuit scale than ASESS, and facilitate high-speed processing by parallel processing. SOLUTION: In the M-algorithm processing, (p) v-value symbol replicas increasing likelihood are narrowed down and selected out of the v-value symbol replicas using a quadrant table 202, and then likelihood calculation and surviving replica selection are performed. Consequently, a necessary computational quantity is reduced to p/v time as large as that of conventional M-algorithm, and only nearby (p) symbols are selected without ranking all the symbols, so that necessary resolution of the quadrant decision table 202 can be suppressed low and the circuit scale can be made smaller than that of ASESS.
