SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING IN A TRANSMITTER A STREAM OF SYMBOL FRAMES CONFIGURED FOR EFFICIENT PROCESSING IN A RECEIVER

Abstract:

A system and method of creating frames comprised of blocks, where each block comprises data symbols corresponding to a higher order quadrature modulation format and support symbols corresponding to a lower order modulation format. One or more of the blocks can further comprise markers comprising distinct symbol patterns. The markers can mark the start of each frame and/or another location in the frame. The support symbols can be in a common location in each block.
