Abstract
A cellular communication system provides for trellis encoding/decoding of a 16 Star QAM signal. The system includes a transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit. The transmitter circuit has a Reed-Solomon encoder, an outer interleaver circuit for spreading burst errors, a cyclic trellis encoder, an inner interleaver circuit for reducing channel memory, a 16 Star QAM mapper and a radio frequency transmitter. The receiver circuit has a radio frequency receiver, equalization and filtering circuitry and timing and synchronization recovery circuitry. The receiver also has an inner deinterleaver, a trellis decoder, an outer deinterleaver, and a Reed-Solomon decoder.

9. A data encoder for a mobile radio data communication system, comprising:
-
a trellis encoder having a plurality of next states corresponding to a plurality of present states and a plurality of input values, said next states assigned to the corresponding present states and input values by dividing the next states into at least first and second subsets and assigning said first subset to a first present state and the plurality of input values, and assigning the first subset of next states to a second present state and said plurality of input values with said first subset of next states cyclically shifted from the assignment to the first present state; and a signal constellation mapper coupled to said trellis encoder. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mobile radio communication system, comprising:
-
a cyclic trellis encoder which receives data and trellis encodes said data, the cyclic trellis encoder having a plurality of next states corresponding to present states and data values, said plurality of next states partitioned into at least two sets and cyclically assigned to the corresponding present states and data values; a signal constellation mapper coupled to said trellis encoder and configured to encode output data from said trellis encoder and to map said encoded data into a signal constellation; a transmitter configured to accept the encoded and mapped data and transmit said encoded and mapped data over a communication channel; a receiver configured to receive the transmitted data from said communication channel; and a trellis decoder coupled to said receiver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
