Abstract

The disclosed exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless communication apparatus and methods that, among other advantages, improve bit error rates. In some examples, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) transmitter receives data for transmission. The transmitter applies a joint constellation and precoding process to the received data to generate corresponding transmit symbols. The joint constellation and precoding process encodes the symbols jointly, using a codebook that maps sequences of bits to symbols. Further, the transmitter applies a Mahalanobis distance process to the transmit symbols to separate the transmit symbols, and generates a transmission signal based on the separated transmit symbols. The transmitter transmits the transmission signal to each of multiple antennae for wireless transmission. In some examples, a receiver receives the transmitted symbols from the plurality of antennae, and applies a corresponding decoding process to the received symbols to generate the data.
