Abstract
A method, and apparatus implementing the method, encodes bits to be transmitted over a channel. The channel may be a single carrier or a multi-carrier channel. Bits are encoded based on a constellation that has a self-similarity property and also has an improved bit error rate. The constellation was iteratively generated using a mirroring technique. In addition, a method, and apparatus, implementing the method, decodes bits that were received from a channel. The bits are decoded for a constellation that has a self-similarity property and that was generated using the mirroring technique.
