    Abstract: A decoder for decoding a signal received through a transmission channel represented by a channel matrix using a search sphere radius. The decoder comprises a radius determination device for determining a search sphere radius from a preliminary radius. The radius determination device is configured to: i. apply a machine learning algorithm to input data derived from the received signal, the channel matrix and a current radius, the current radius being initially set to the preliminary radius, which provides a current predicted number of lattice points associated with the current radius; ii. compare the current predicted number of lattice points to a given threshold; iii. update the current radius if the current predicted number of lattice points is strictly higher than the given threshold, the current radius being updated by applying a linear function to the current radius; Steps i to iii are iterated until a termination condition is satisfied, the termination condition being related to the current predicted number, the radius determination device being configured to set the search sphere radius to the current radius in response to the termination condition being satisfied.

    Abstract: A decoder for determining an estimate of a vector of information symbols carried by a signal received through a transmission channel represented by a channel matrix is provided. The decoder includes a block division unit configured to divide the vector of information symbols into two or more sub-vectors, each sub-vector being associated with a block level; two or more processors configured to determine, in parallel, candidate sub-vectors and to store the candidate sub-vectors in a first stack. Each processor is configured to determine at least a candidate sub-vector by applying a symbol estimation algorithm and to store each candidate sub-vector with a decoding metric and the block level associated with the candidate sub-vector. The decoding metric is lower than or equal to a decoding metric threshold. A processor among the two or more processors is configured to determine at least a candidate vector from candidate sub-vectors stored in the first stack, the candidate vector being associated with a cumulated decoding metric and to update the decoding metric threshold from the cumulated decoding metric.
