| 20100195743 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SIGNALING WITH GEOMETRIC CONSTELLATIONS - Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR. In addition, ranges within which the constellation points of a capacity optimized constellation can be perturbed and are still likely to achieve a given percentage of the optimal capacity increase compared to a constellation that maximizes d | 08-05-2010 |
