Solution Overview

Problem

In high frequency communication scenes, phase noise is significant, and even with phase compensation, much noise remains, affecting demodulation performance, especially for low-level terminals with poor performance.

Innovation Solution

A data modulation method that combines two groups of constellation point modulation symbols, where the phase of the second group is adjusted based on the first group, forming a constellation point modulation symbol that effectively reduces phase noise during demodulation.

1Measurement precision

If phase compensation is performed in high frequency communication, then frequency offset is corrected, but significant phase noise remains affecting demodulation performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The constellation points are divided into multiple groups (first group, second group, third group) with different phase characteristics. By segmenting the modulation symbols into groups that are differently affected by phase noise, the system can selectively process or prioritize certain groups during demodulation, thereby improving overall demodulation performance in high frequency scenes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the phase parameter of modulation symbols by introducing multiple constellation point groups with distinct phase offsets. This parameter transformation allows the system to operate in a phase domain where the harmful phase noise has reduced impact, effectively converting a problematic parameter (phase) into a manageable characteristic through deliberate phase shifting.

2Productivity

If conventional modulation is used in high frequency scenes, then system efficiency is maintained, but phase noise significantly degrades signal quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidsignal quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The modulation scheme uses a composite structure combining multiple constellation point groups (first group with phase 0, second group with phase θ1, third group with phase θ2) within a single modulation symbol. This composite modulation approach integrates multiple phase components to create a robust signal structure that maintains efficiency while resisting phase noise degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extends the conventional two-dimensional constellation diagram by introducing an additional phase dimension through multiple grouped constellation points. This dimensional expansion allows the system to encode information not only in amplitude and phase but also in the grouping structure, providing an extra degree of freedom to combat phase noise while maintaining spectral efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
