  • Abstract
    In this letter, a sphere decoding (SD) based noncoherent multiple symbol detection (MSD) scheme is proposed for differential space-time block coded (DSTBC) ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio systems. Exhaustive search based maximum likelihood (ML) MSD is impractical in DSTBC-UWB systems since its complexity exponentially increases with observation window size. To decrease the computational complexity, the original MSD metric is transformed into another equivalent form which can be implemented by SD for DSTBC-UWB systems.
