LOWER COMPLEXITY LAYERED MODULATION SIGNAL PROCESSOR

摘要

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a coded signal having an upper layer signal (130) and a lower layer signal (1312) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of combining the upper layer signal and the lower layer signal, encoding the combined upper layer signal and lower layer signal, delaying the upper layer signal, modulating the delayed upper layer signal, modulating the lower layer signal, transmitting the delayed upper layer signal and transmitting the lower layer signal. The apparatus comprises an encoder (1301), for encoding a combined upper layer signal and lower layer signal, a delay communicatively coupled to the encoder, for delaying the upper layer signal, a first modulator, for modulating the upper layer signal, a second modulator, for modulating the lower layer signal, a transmitter (1314), communicatively coupled to the first modulator, for transmitting the delayed upper layer signal, and a second transmitter (13, 16), communicatively coupled to the second modulator.
