  ABSTRACT: Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is of great significance in high data rate wireless communication. The K-Best Sphere Decoding (K-Best SD) algorithm was proposed as a powerful method for MIMO detection that can approach near-optimal performance. However, some extra computational complexity is contained in K-Best SD. In this paper, we propose an improved K-Best SD to reduce the complexity of conventional K-Best SD by assigning K for each level dynamically following some rules. Simulation proves that the performance degradation of the improved K-Best SD is very little and the complexity is significantly reduced.
