Abstract
A system includes a mapping device. The mapping device groups encoded bits of OFDM symbols into first groups. For each of the first groups, the mapping device maps adjacent bits onto non-adjacent subcarriers of multiple subcarriers and in an alternating manner onto bits of a signal constellation such that: every other one of the adjacent bits are mapped to first bits on the signal constellation; and bits other than the every other one of the adjacent bits are mapped to second bits on the signal constellation. Each of the first groups has a corresponding complex number. The mapping device: groups predetermined numbers of the first groups into second groups, where each of the second groups corresponds to one of the OFDM symbols; and maps each of the second groups to one of the multiple subcarriers such that the multiple subcarriers are modulated based on the complex numbers.
