  Utilized Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) trees as a foundational data structure, enhancing the efficiency and hardware optimization of Sphere decoding.Devised models that streamlined Sphere decoding by integrating ray tracing, effectively addressing the challenges posed by Uniquely Localizable Sensor Networks (ULS). Synthesized K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) search, ray tracing acceleration, and Sphere decoding, with the potential to significantly enhance computational efficiency and precision.Envisioned the implementation of hardware-based ray tracing for accelerated computations and improved performance, with the ultimate goal of pushing the boundaries of Sphere decoding's capabilities.
