Transmitting Extra Bits by Rotating Signal Constellations
share
In this letter, we propose a novel LDPC coding scheme to transmit extra bits aided by rotated signal constellations without any additional cost in transmission power or bandwidth. In the proposed scheme, the LDPC coded data are modulated by a rotated two-dimensional signal constellation, in which the rotation angle is specified by the given extra bits. At the receiver, the rotation angle is estimated with the aid of the statistical learning of the syndrome of the LDPC code. After recovering the rotation angle, the coded payload data can be decoded by the LDPC decoder. The simulation results show that, for an LDPC code of length 2304, up to four extra bits can be transmitted with negligible influence on the reliability of the LDPC coded data.
