<p>Information is processed to produce a plurality of information symbols. The plurality of information symbols are encoded according to a concatenation of an error correction code and a nonorthogonal modulation code to produce a modulated communications signal. The modulated communications signal is communicated over a communication medium, and communications signal processing means process the communicated modulated communications signal to produce information. Preferably, the information symbols are encoded according to an error correction code, preferably a convolutional code, to produce a plurality of coded symbols. The plurality of coded symbols are preferably interleaved to produce a plurality of interleaved coded symbols. The interleaved coded symbols are then modulated according to a nonorthogonal code to produce the modulated communications signal. Preferably, the coded symbols are modulated according to a proper subset of one of a Nordstrom-Robinson code, a Reed-Muller code, or a Kerdock code, the proper subset being operable to produce a modulated communications signal from a signal set such that the communications signal noncoherently demodulates to produce a unique output for each signal in the signal set, and the communications signal processing means includes noncoherent demodulating means for noncoherently demodulating the communicated modulated communications signal.</p> |
