Modulation Augmentation and Constellation Shaping for LDPC-Coded QPSK
While constellation shaping improves spectral efficiency, its application to quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) remains limited. We address this limitation by incorporating a short shaping code into low-density parity-check (LDPC)-coded QPSK systems. Specifically, a subset of LDPC codeword bits is used as shaping bit...
