Claim 14:
15. A method for decoding a signal received through a transmission channel represented by a channel matrix using a search sphere radius, the method comprises determining said search sphere radius from a preliminary radius, wherein the method comprises:
i. applying a machine learning algorithm to input data derived from said received signal, said channel matrix and a current radius, the current radius being initially set to the preliminary radius, which provides a current predicted number of lattice points associated with said current radius;
ii. comparing said current predicted number of lattice points to a given threshold;
iii. updating said current radius if said current predicted number of lattice points is strictly higher than said given threshold, said current radius being updated by applying a linear function to said current radius;
steps I to iii being iterated until a termination condition is satisfied, said termination condition being related to the current predicted number, the method comprises setting the search sphere radius to the current radius in response to the termination condition being satisfied.
