Source-aware non-uniform information transmission with minimum distortion

摘要

A method is provided for transmitting information in a data communication system. The method includes: receiving a codeword having a plurality of bits; mapping more significant bits of the codeword to bit locations of a symbol in a constellation with lower error probabilities, where the constellation represents a modulation scheme; modulating the symbol in accordance with the modulation scheme; and transmitting the symbol from a transmitter in the data communication system.
