Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a decoder for decoding a signal received through a transmission channel in a communication system, said signal comprising a vector of information symbols, wherein the decoder comprises: a processing unit (307) configured to determine at least one candidate set of division parameters and to perform a division of said vector of information symbols into a set of sub-vectors in association with each candidate set of division parameters, each pair of sub-vectors being associated with a division metric; a selection unit (309) configured to select one of said candidate sets of division parameters according to a selection criterion depending on said division metric; and a decoding unit (311) configured to determine at least one estimate of each sub-vector associated with said selected set of division parameters by applying a symbol estimation algorithm, wherein the decoder is configured to determine at least one estimate of the vector of information symbols from said at least one estimate of each sub-vector of information symbols.
