BIT PERMUTATION OF LDPC CODED BITS TO BE APPLIED BEFORE QAM CONSTELLATION MAPPING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for processing digital signals and to a transmission/reception system implementing said method; the present invention is based on the use of LDPC codes, in particular the LDPC code of the DVB-S2 standard, in combination with a QAM modulation, in particular the 1024QAM and 4096QAM modulations; in transmission, a bit permutation (Demux) is carried out prior to the QAM constellation mapping function; in reception, the bit permutation is carried out after the QAM constellation demapping function.
