Improved Low-Complexity Demodulation: Integrating Minimum-Mean-Square-Error and Maximum-Likelihood Detection for Image-Sensor-Based Visible Light Communication by Yuki Ohira, Shintaro Arai, Kengo Fujii, Tomohiro Yendo

“…The traditional maximum likelihood detection (MLD)-based demodulation, although effective, incurs high computational costs, restricting its use in real-time applications. To address these limitations, this study introduces an improved error signal candidate selection algorithm that focuses on residual signals and channel matrix characteristics to refine the signal estimation result. …”
