Abstract
A method, wireless device, and wireless communication system perform Maximum Likelihood Detection. At least one data signal is accepting on at least one communication channel (604). The data signal is modulated with a plurality of transmitted bit values. The at least one data signal is sampled in a characteristic function domain of the data signal to produce characteristic function samples (608). A probability density function associated with the at least one data signal is determined, based upon the characteristic function samples (610). Soft decision values are determined, based upon the probability density function, for each transmitted bit value for each dimension of the at least one data signal (612).
