    摘要: Client data bits, including first client data bits and second client data bits, are communicated from a transmitter to a receiver. At the transmitter, the first client data bits are processed to generate processed values, where each processed value is more likely to be a first element than a second element. Forward Error Correction ‘FEC’ encoding is applied to the second client data bits to generate FEC-encoded values. Symbols are created by mapping the FEC-encoded values to first positions in the symbols and by mapping the processed values to second positions in the symbols. The symbols are modulated onto a communications channel using a modulation scheme with a code that assigns a lower average energy to symbols containing the first elements in the second positions than to symbols containing the second elements in the second positions. At the receiver, client data bits are decoded using conditional chain decoding.
