ABSTRACT:
A Voronoi signal constellation with ties includes those points of a lattice .LAMBDA. (or a coset .LAMBDA.+c) that lie within a Voronoi region of a sublattice .LAMBDA.' of .LAMBDA., .LAMBDA.' being other then a scaled version of .LAMBDA., and the constellation includes more than .vertline..LAMBDA./.LAMBDA.'.vertline. points, where .vertline..LAMBDA./.LAMBDA.'.vertline. is the order of the lattice partition .LAMBDA./.LAMBDA.'. In order aspects, the lattices .LAMBDA. and .LAMBDA.' are of dimension greater than two; the sublattice .LAMBDA.' is a version of a binary lattice of depth at least two and normalized informativity less than one; a method is provided of mapping from m data bits to a point drawn from a Voronoi constellation of more than 2.sup.m points, based on an N-dimensional lattice partition .LAMBDA./.LAMBDA.'; and Voronoi constellations are provided comprising points of a lattice .LAMBDA. (or a coset .LAMBDA.+c) that lie within a Voronoi region of a sublattice .LAMBDA.' of .LAMBDA., the sublattice .LAMBDA.' comprising a binary lattice of depth two and normalized informativity less than one. Such sublattices .LAMBDA.' are also useful in lattice quantizers.
