Abstract

Techniques for data transmission using high-order modulation are provided. According to one aspect, parameters of a transmission link are determined, and a multilevel coding scheme and a high-order modulation signal constellation are selected on the basis of the determined parameters. An information indicating the selected multilevel coding scheme and high-order modulation signal constellation and data symbols encoded according to the selected multilevel coding scheme and high-order modulation signal constellation are transmitted. In other aspects, QPSK data symbols are embedded between M-QAM data symbols or M-PSK data symbols with M>4. The QPSK data symbols may be used to improve the efficiency of the decoding process.
