Abstract
A multilevel coded modulation scheme is provided in which a first portion of input data is encoded by a first-level code and a second portion of input data is encoded by an second-level code, the second-level code being such that the overall multilevel code exhibits a desired level of time diversity of at least 2 and the minimum distance of the overall code is not increased by virtue of the presence of the second-level code.
