System and method for Huffman shaping in a data communication system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting data, comprising:
- inputting data into a transmitter;
scrambling the inputted data;
accumulating the scrambled data, the accumulated data forming Huffman codewords;
mapping the formed Huffman codewords into modulation symbols; and
transmitting, at a constant rate, the modulation symbols from the transmitter.

Abstract
In a communication system, Huffman coding techniques are used to obtain shaping gains for an improvement in data transmission rates. More particularly, a novel method of Huffman shaping is described that achieves a shaping gain of greater than 1 dB. The shaping gain results in a higher data rate transmission in a communication system where transmitted power is constrained.
