Mixed modulation level communication system

摘要

A communication system has an information signal having a plurality of data streams. The data streams are simultaneously modulated on a multi-level symbol transmission. The data streams may have either independent or dependent signalling protocols. A transmitting device generates the information in one of several embodiments. A first receiver receives the information signal and process only a first data stream for messages. A second receiver receives the information signal and process only the second data stream for meassages. A third receiver is capable of selectively receiving and processing a plurality of data streams. The third receiver is shown in several embodiments for selecting the data streams.
