Abstract

A digital data sequence is mapped into a signal point sequence e(D) for data transmission over a channel h(D) to produce a channel output sequence y(D)=e(D)h(D). e(D) is chosen so that the signal points in the sequence y(D) belong to a class of possible sequences based on the digital data sequence, the class being based on a time-varying trellis code derived from an N-dimensional time-invariant trellis code by using different transformed versions of its underlying lattices for respectively different N-dimensional symbols.
