A signal is received from a telecom front end, the signal corresponding to data belonging to a finite set of constellation symbols, each constellation symbol being arranged in a lattice constellation impaired by additive noise and a multiplicative channel. A limited set of distances representative of Euclidian distances between the received signal and a finite set of predetermined constellation symbols are computed, possibly multiplied by the channel. A set of soft decision LLRs are derived from the computed set of distances under the constraint of a limited length of the list of distances. The derived LLRs are completed by clipping values read from a look-up table which is simultaneously addressed by the values of the SNR and a bit index.
