    摘要: A method is provided which improves reliability of channel estimation in a digital communication system by reducing the ambiguity in the recognition of received symbols evaluated for the channel estimation. A first plurality of bits is mapped to a modulation state according to a given Gray mapping of binary numbers to modulation states and transmitted. The plurality of bits is re-transmitted at least once, with a sub-set of bits contained in the plurality of bits inverted, and mapped to further modulation states according to the same Gray mapping. The bits to be inverted are determined in a way that the number of different vector sum results obtainable, for all combinations of bit values within the first plurality of bits, by adding vectors representing complex values of the first and further modulation states in a complex plane, is lower than the number of different modulation states within the Gray mapping.

    摘要: To improve the reliability of channel estimation, data symbols at determined positions of the transmitted data stream are replaced by quasi-pilot symbols. The quasi-pilot symbols carry data modulated onto the carrier with a different modulation scheme than the original symbols. The modulation scheme for the quasi-pilot symbols has a lower amplitude and/or phase ambiguity than the modulation scheme for the original data symbol.

Both diversity signals contain the same data and both are 16-QAM, but the location of the data bits within the constellation is different. This averages the effect of the different levels of reliability of the different constellation points. A method for modifying a quadruple of data bits in a data transmission system using Quadrature. Amplitude Modulation with 16 different modulation states, 16-QAM, using an Antipodal Inverted Constellation AICO) mapping, swapping bits selecting contiguous symbol regions with bits selecting non-contiguous symbol regions. Depending on the particular pre-defined mapping and on the particular permutation of bits, inversion of selected bits may be performed in addition. The quadruples thus obtained are mapped to modulation symbols according to a pre-defined AICO mapping. In the corresponding method for receiving the symbols, likelihood values are swapped and modified in a way which is complementary to the permutation and inversion of bits, before they are combined with likelihood values from other symbols representing the same bits. Method ensures that there is a one to one correspondence between Hamming distance and Euclidian distance for the combined received data. In other words it ensures that, once combined, all 4 bit data words which differ by the same number of bits (Hamming distance) are the same distance apart in the constellation (Euclidian distance).
