1. A method for decoding space time coded (STC) signals comprising:

  • a) receiving STC signals originating from a plurality of transmit antennas of a remote transmitter;

    b) decoding the STC signals using a separate STC decoding technique to determine a plurality of initial solutions;

    c) identifying a selected area about each of the initial solutions;

    d) creating a decoding space corresponding to the selected areas; and

    e) decoding the STC signals using a joint STC decoding technique to determine a final solution representing symbols transmitted from the plurality of transmit antennas.
