Figure 4: Timeline of relevant litterature related to MIMO detection. The ref-

erences are sorted in four groups of detection methods: those with soft/hard
decisions and those with random/predictable complexity (run time). The time-
line marks the three important phases of the development of MIMO detection:
CDMA, conventional MIMO, and very large MIMO.
