Abstract
Hierarchical modulation is performed by an access node in a communication network, by identifying, by the access node, a plurality of user devices in the communication network for hierarchical modulation reception, and sending, via a transceiver in the access node, control information to each of the identified user devices, the control information comprising an identification of a shared radio resource for use by two of the identified user devices in support of hierarchical modulation reception.
