Methods of transmitting and receiving a set of bits are provided. In the transmitting method, some of the bits are mapped to modulated symbol, and some of the bits map to a subset of transmission resources out of a first set of transmission resources. The modulated symbol is transmitted using the subset of transmission resources. At the receiver, a modulated symbol is received using a subset of transmission resources. Some bits are recovered by demodulating the demodulated symbol, and some of the bits are recovered based on the subset of transmission resources over which the modulated symbol was received.
