    摘要: Design Methodology and Method and Apparatus for Signaling with Capacity Optimized Constellation Abstract Communication systems are described that use geometrically PSK shaped constellations that have increased capacity compared to conventional PSK constellations operating within a similar SNR band. The geometrically shaped PSK constellation is optimized based upon parallel decoding capacity. In many embodiments, a capacity optimized geometrically shaped constellation can be used to replace a conventional constellation as part of a firmware upgrade to transmitters and receivers within a communication system. In a number of embodiments, the geometrically shaped constellation is optimized for an Additive White Gaussian Noise channel or a fading channel. In numerous embodiments, the communication uses adaptive rate encoding and the location of points within the geometrically shaped constellation changes as the code rate changes.

    摘要: Communication systems are described that use geometrically shaped constellations that have increased capacity compared to conventional constellations operating within a similar SNR band. In several embodiments, the geometrically shaped is optimized based upon a capacity measure such as parallel decoding capacity or joint capacity. In many embodiments, a capacity optimized geometrically shaped constellation can be used to replace a conventional constellation as part of a firmware upgrade to transmitters and receivers within a communication system. In a number of embodiments, the geometrically shaped constellation is optimized for an Additive White Gaussian Noise channel or a fading channel. In numerous embodiments, the communication uses adaptive rate encoding and the location of points within the geometrically shaped constellation changes as the code rate changes. One embodiment of the invention includes a transmitter configured to transmit signals to a receiver via a communication channel, wherein the transmitter, includes a coder configured to receive user bits and output encoded bits at an expanded output encoded bit rate, a mapper configured to map encoded bits to symbols in a symbol constellation, a modulator configured to generate a signal for transmission via the communication channel using symbols generated by the mapper. In addition, the receiver includes a demodulator configured to demodulate the received signal via the communication channel, a demapper configured to estimate likelihoods from the demodulated signal, a decoder that is configured to estimate decoded bits from the likelihoods generated by the demapper. Furthermore, the symbol constellation is a capacity optimized geometrically spaced symbol constellation that provides a given capacity at a reduced signal-to-noise ratio compared to a signal constellation that maximizes dmin.

    摘要: Transmitters are described that use non-uniformly spaced symbol constellations that have increased capacity compared to conventional constellations. In many embodiments, a transmitter includes a coder configured to receive bits and output encoded bits, a mapper configured to map said encoded bits to symbols in a non-uniform symbol constellation selected from a plurality of symbol constellations, and a modulator configured to generate a signal for transmission via the communication channel using symbols generated by the mapper. In a variety of embodiments, wherein the non-uniform symbol constellation comprises a set of non-uniformly spaced constellation points, and the location points in the non-uniform symbol constellation are chosen to optimize parallel decode capacity of the non-uniform symbol constellation subject to at least one optimization constraint. In many embodiments, the non-uniform symbol constellation is a quadrature amplitude modulation constellation or a phase shift keyed constellation.

    摘要: Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR, over the Raleigh fading channel. In addition, ranges within which the constellation points of a capacity optimized constellation can be perturbed and are still likely to achieve a given percentage of the optimal capacity increase compared to a constellation that maximizes dmin, are also described. Capacity measures that are used in the selection of the location of constellation points include, but are not limited to, parallel decode (PD) capacity and joint capacity.

    摘要: Communication systems are described that use signal constellations which have unequally spaced (i.e. “geometrically spaced,” or “non-uniform”) points. In many embodiments, the transmitters and receivers use specific non-uniform quadrature amplitude modulation (NU-QAM) constellations. In a variety of embodiments, NU-QAM constellations are capacity optimized using a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM, also referred to as “parallel decode”) capacity measure. In a number of embodiments, the transmitters and receivers are described that use specific NU-QAM constellations that provide gains in BICM capacity relative to constellations that maximize the minimum distance between constellation points.
