a modulator configured to generate a signal for transmission via the communication channel using symbols generated by the mapper;
wherein the receiver, comprises;
a demodulator configured to demodulate the received signal via the communication channel;
a demapper configured to estimate likelihoods from the a demodulated signal;
a decoder that is configured to estimate decoded bits from the likelihoods generated by the demapper; and
wherein the symbol constellation is a non-uniform QAM constellation formed by orthogonalizing a first PAM-32 symbol constellation and a second PAM-32 symbol constellation, wherein the first PAM-32 symbol constellation achieves at least 50% of the gain in parallel decode capacity at a given SNR achieved by a non-uniform PAM-32 symbol constellation optimized for parallel decode capacity at the given SNR relative to a uniform PAM-32 symbol constellation.

Abstract
Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR, over the Raleigh fading channel. In addition, ranges within which the constellation points of a capacity optimized constellation can be perturbed and are still likely to achieve a given percentage of the optimal capacity increase compared to a constellation that maximizes dmin, are also described. Capacity measures that are used in the selection of the location of constellation points include, but are not limited to, parallel decode (PD) capacity and joint capacity.
