1. A method, for performing Maximum Likelihood Detection, the method comprising:

  • accepting at least one data signal on at least one communication channel, wherein the data signal is modulated with a plurality of transmitted bit values;

    sampling the at least one data signal in a characteristic function domain of the data signal to produce characteristic function samples;

    determining, based upon the characteristic function samples, a probability density function associated with the at least one data signal; and

    determining, based upon the probability density function, soft decision values for each transmitted bit value for each dimension of the at least one data signal.
