Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space-time coding techniques play a major role in modern wireless communication systems since they can achieve very high data transmission rates. Designing efficient algorithms to implement these techniques is a significant challenge, and there is currently a great amount of interest in sphere decoding algorithms in this context. This book will describe efficient algorithms for detection and decoding, focussing on receivers in wireless communication systems. The complexity and design of sphere decoding algorithms will be discussed in detail, and their performance analyzed. The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students of electrical engineering and computer science. It will also appeal to practitioners in the wireless industry.
