Abstract

See full text

A multilevel coded modulation scheme trellis encodes a portion of the input data and the resulting encoded stream is used to identify a particular one of a predetermined number of subsets of symbols of a predetermined signal constellation. The remaining input data is coded using a Reed-Solomon (RS) code whose output is used to select for transmission a particular symbol from the identified subset. In applications in which phase hits or other channel phenomena may cause the received signal points to be phase-rotated versions of the signal points that were transmitted, differential encoding is included in the overall coded modulation scheme. In different embodiments, the differential encoding/decoding and RS encoding/decoding are in different orders. In one such embodiment, overlapped multilevel codes are used to preserve the advantages afforded by taking a multilevel coding approach.
