A modified Schnorr-Euchner sphere decoding (SE-SD) algorithm to search for the receive minimum distance is presented. In the proposed algorithm, the visit to negative symmetric vectors of already spanned vectors is avoided by using a biased spanning, and the redundant processes to visit the all-zero vector are also eliminated. A numerical experiment shows that the modified SE-SD algorithm is much more efficient than the conventional algorithm in terms of average computational complexity.
