A constructive method employing the Hopf fibration formalism in the design of high order modulations has recently been reported. In this paper, we demonstrate through examples that not only the design but also the labeling of these constellations can be parameterized using discrete Hopf fibres. The angular sampling of such discrete Hopf fibres has been found to provide a common geometric variety that can be shared by both the signal and the coding space of these modulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
