摘要
A method and system for the transmission, reception, and processing of 4-level and 8-level signaling symbols is provided. An inventive modulator is provided for modulating 4-level signaling symbols using an 8-level modulator. Further, this inventive modulator is able to produce 4-level modulation when modulating 4-level signaling symbols using an 8-level modulator, where the 4-level modulation represents the 4-level symbol sequence modulated. Further, a constrained/unconstrained demodulator is provided which is able to demodulate both 4-level signaling symbols and 8-level signaling symbols. The inventive demodulator accomplishes this by limiting the number of new symbol hypotheses and path histories to 4 when working with 4-level signaling symbols, and setting the number of new symbol hypotheses and path histories to 8 when working with 8-level signaling symbols. Additionally, an error correction decoder is provided which is also able to decode a demodulated signal which contains both 4-level and 8-level signaling symbols. The inventive error correction decoder accomplishes this by utilizing an interleaver that only places bits in the 2-bit positions of the 3-PSK soft values that correspond to the 2-bits of QPSK to decode 4-level signalling symbols, and utilizing an interleaver that places bits in all three of the possible bit positions of a symbol to decode 8-level signalling symbols.
