A technology is disclosed and described for processing a radio signal using an excited Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Gibbs sampler. An example method (200) may include calculating a distance (210) of a bit sequence from an estimated correct bit sequence, where the bit sequence may be extracted from a received radio signal received by a Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) detector. An excitation factor may be modified (220) based in part on the distance of the bit sequence from the estimated correct bit sequence, where the where the excitation factor may be used in part to calculate a probability of state transition of the bit sequence. A pseudo-convergence of the probability of state transition of the bit sequence may be detected (230) and a pseudo-convergence mitigation technique may be executed (240) that causes the probability of state transition of the bit sequence to increase.
