Abstract
A method is disclosed for transmitting data using a constellation with M=2symbols, divided in N sub-constellations, N and M being integers, where for any symbol in a reference sub-constellation, there is a symbol in each of the other sub-constellations with a same probability value. The method includes obtaining from a source of data, k groups of m−log(N) shaping bits wherein each group of m−log(N) shaping bits identifies one symbol xin the reference sub-constellation, jϵ[1;k]; applying a systematic error correcting code on said k groups of m-log(N) shaping bits to output one group of log(N) parity bits per each symbol x; for each symbol x, identifying a sub-constellation using at least the group of log(N) parity bits and selecting a symbol identified by said m−log(N) shaping bits in said identified sub-constellation; and transmitting each of said k selected symbols to a receiver over a communication channel.
