Abstract
Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to a method for communicating data from a transmitting circuit to a receiving circuit over a noisy channel. The method can be performed by logic circuitry, and can include encoding data, for transmission over the noisy channel. The data can be encoded, as a shaped-coded modulation signal by shaping the signal based on an amplitude selection algorithm that leads to a symmetrical input and by constructing a trellis having a bounded-energy sequence of amplitude values selected by computing and storing a plurality of channel-related energy constraints based on use of a nonlinear-estimation process, and therein providing an index for the bounded-energy sequence of amplitudes. The method can also include receiving over the noisy channel, the shaped-coded modulation signal, and decoding the data from the shaped-coded modulation signal by using the index to reconstruct the bounded-energy sequence of amplitudes.
