Abstract
An family of improved trellis coded signaling schemes is provided that by vary the signal constellation to a smaller constellation periodically according to a pre-selected pattern. A set of specific embodiments involving periodically-reduced 4-PAM/2-PAM trellis coded schemes are disclosed that change their signal constellations periodically from 4-PAM to 2-PAM during selected intervals to improve performance. Similar periodically QAM and higher-dimensional coding schemes are also disclosed. Simplified receiver and decoder structures to decode the periodically-reduced trellis codes are also presented. The present invention allows embodiments to be produced that reduce coding complexity, reduce decoding complexity, and simplify symbol timing recovery and equalization. The cost is a moderate increase in the path memory length of the decoder.
