Layered modulation for digital signals
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting a transmitting signal having a legacy upper layer signal receivable by a plurality of legacy receivers and a plurality of layered modulation receivers and a lower layer signal non-coherently layered over the legacy upper layer signal, the lower layer signal receivable by the layered modulation receivers and not receivable by the legacy receivers, the method, comprising:
- transmitting the legacy upper layer signal including a first carrier and first signal symbols; and
transmitting a lower layer signal including a second carrier and second signal symbols;
wherein the layered modulation receivers demodulate the legacy upper layer signal to produce the first signal symbols, remodulate the first signal symbols, and subtract the remodulated first signal symbols from she demodulated legacy upper layer signal to produce the second signal symbols.

Abstract
Signals, systems and methods for transmitting and receiving layered modulation for digital signals are presented. A layered signal for transmitting data, comprises a first signal layer including a first carrier and first signal symbols for a first digital signal transmission and a second signal layer including a second carrier and second signal symbols for a second signal, transmission disposed on the first signal layer, wherein the layered signal has the first carrier demodulated and first layer decoded to produce the first signal symbols for a first layer transport, the first signal symbols are remodulated and subtracted from the layered signal to produce the second signal layer, and the second signal layer has the second carrier demodulated and decoded to produce the second signal symbols for a second layer transport.
