Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing a spatial-multiplexed signal detection method that can improve the characteristics of spatial and temporal iterative decoding that is based on turbo principles. According to the method, when implementing factorization of conditional probability referred to as “likelihood” such that the conditional probability can be represented by the product of a plurality of conditional probabilities, the conditional probability being obtained for a received signal sequence in a spatial and temporal iterative decoding configuration based on turbo principles of soft-input soft-output detector 1 and soft-input soft-output decoder 2, the conditional probability for which factorization is possible is divided into a plurality of groups. When calculating this likelihood, the ordering among groups in which probabilities are calculated can be ordered such that groups that contain events that serve as the conditions of conditional probabilities in the groups are processed earlier.
