Abstract

Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for wireless communication are provided. An example method may include receiving a communication from a second wireless device. The example method may further include demodulating the communication based on a combination of lattice reduction (LR) and per-stream recursive demapping (PSRD). The method may further include transforming a first subset of received stream signals in the set of stream signals to a complex integer domain (Z domain) and processing, based on the LR, the first subset of received stream signals in the set of stream signals in the Z domain. The method may further include transforming the processed first subset of received stream signals in the set of stream signals in the Z domain to a set of X domain vectors in an X domain.
