METHOD OF TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A SIGNAL AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A SIGNAL

摘要

A method of transmitting/receiving a signal and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal are provided. Input data is forward error correction (FEC)-encoded such that a data error is detected and corrected and is converted into data symbols according to a plurality of symbol mapping methods such that transmitted data is modulated. Accordingly, it is possible to facilitate the switching of a signal transmitting/receiving system using the existing signal transmitting/ receiving network. In addition, it is possible to improve a data transfer rate and increase a signal transmission distance. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the signal transmission/reception performance of the transmitting/receiving system.
