A transmitter includes an encoding module, an adaptive hierarchical signal mapping module and a transceiver module. The encoding module receives an input signal and encodes the input signal. The input signal includes data to be transmitted. The adaptive hierarchical signal mapping module modulates the encoded signal according to one or more hierarchical level distance ratios to obtain modulated symbols. The hierarchical level distance ratio defines distances between the modulated symbols. The transceiver module generates a radio frequency signal according to the modulated symbols and transmits the radio frequency signal to an air interface.

Methods for carrier frequency offset detection and compensation and transmitters and receivers utilizing the same

A receiver used for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system is provided. A signal processing device receives an OFDM symbol and processes the OFDM symbol according to the OFDM symbol and a carrier frequency offset compensation coefficient to generate a processed signal. The OFDM symbol includes pilots which have been hierarchically modulated and the processed signal includes the processed pilots. A signal analysis device collects the processed pilots of the processed signal and detects carrier frequency offset to generate the carrier frequency offset compensation coefficient to the signal processing device according to the processed pilots and a plurality of target decision bit error rates. A channel detection module detects a channel response of the processed signal according to the processed pilots and compensates the processed signal to generate an output data.
