Modulation and Encoding Method and Apparatus, Demodulation and Decoding Method and Apparatus, Device, and Communication System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154631 titled 'Modulation and Encoding Method and Apparatus, Demodulation and Decoding Method and Apparatus, Device, and Communication System

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for modulation/demodulation and encoding/decoding in communication technologies.

  • The method involves grading the bits to be transmitted into multiple levels.
  • The graded bits are then encoded to obtain codewords at different levels.
  • The codewords are mapped to symbols in a staggered manner, with overlapping between different codewords.
  • This mapping and overlapping assist in demodulating the codewords.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various communication systems, including:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Satellite communication systems
  • Optical communication systems

Problems Solved

The method addresses the following problems in communication technologies:

  • Efficient modulation and encoding of bits for transmission
  • Effective demodulation and decoding of received signals
  • Minimizing errors and improving the reliability of communication systems

Benefits

The use of this method offers several benefits:

  • Improved data transmission efficiency
  • Enhanced error correction capabilities
  • Increased reliability and robustness of communication systems
  • Compatibility with different communication technologies


Original Abstract Submitted

This application discloses a modulation/demodulation and encoding/decoding method and belongs to the field of communication technologies. The modulation and encoding method includes: grading to-be-transmitted bits into a plurality of levels; encoding a plurality of levels of bits obtained through grading to obtain a plurality of levels of codewords; and mapping the plurality of levels of codewords to a symbol in a staggered manner, where the plurality of levels of codewords include a first codeword, the first codeword is located at a Ylevel of the plurality of levels of codewords, and the first codeword overlaps at least one codeword at any level other than the Ylevel. In this way, codewords at different levels are associated by using a symbol to which the codewords are mapped, and an overlapping part between a plurality of codewords can assist in demodulating the codewords.
