This paper presents a review of recent developments in the area of STBC decoding particularly parallel decoding of full-rate full-diversity STBCs toward real-time 4G wireless communications. After reviewing some parallel STBC decoding techniques and presenting one of the most promising types of parallel processors suitable for the 4G SDR the SIMD processor, the paper shows that parallel decoding of the Golden Code on the ClearSpeed CSX700 SIMD processor achieves a speedup of up to 30 times. The paper highlights the potential to achieve real-time decoding of high-rate STBCs with the use of robust parallel processors
