Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies lack defined methods for parsing a stream of input bits into spatial streams for unequal modulation (UEQM) to adapt to signal quality, which affects system throughput and reliability in MIMO channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If equal modulation is used on all spatial streams, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but system throughput and reliability deteriorate due to inability to adapt to varying signal quality
Solution Approach 1:
The coded bit stream is segmented into multiple spatial streams using a stream parser that distributes bits to different spatial streams according to their modulation orders. This segmentation allows each spatial stream to be modulated independently according to its signal quality, resolving the contradiction by enabling adaptive modulation through structured bit distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
Different modulation schemes are applied to different spatial streams based on their individual signal qualities. The system assigns higher modulation orders to spatial streams with better signal quality and lower modulation orders to those with poorer quality, achieving local optimization of transmission reliability and throughput.
2Productivity
If unequal modulation is applied to adapt to signal quality, then system throughput and reliability are improved, but device complexity increases due to undefined parser designs
Solution Approach 1:
The stream parser segments the coded bit stream into multiple spatial streams with different modulation orders. By systematically distributing bits to spatial streams based on pre-determined modulation schemes, the parser achieves unequal modulation without excessive complexity, enabling higher system throughput through adaptive resource allocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts modulation orders for different spatial streams based on real-time signal quality conditions. The stream parser and segment parser are configured to accommodate varying modulation requirements, allowing the system to optimize throughput by adapting to changing channel conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If unequal modulation is used on spatial streams, then adaptability to signal quality is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase for parser implementation
Solution Approach 1:
The bit stream is segmented into spatial streams using deterministic parsing rules that ensure accurate bit distribution. The stream parser uses predefined patterns to allocate bits to different spatial streams according to their modulation orders, maintaining high parsing accuracy while achieving adaptability to varying signal qualities.
Solution Approach 2:
The stream parser and segment parser are designed with universal functionality to handle multiple modulation schemes (e.g., QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) across different spatial streams. This multi-functional design enables the system to adapt to various signal quality conditions while maintaining consistent parsing accuracy through standardized parsing mechanisms.

AI summary
Various schemes pertaining to stream parser and segment parser designs for unequal modulation (UEQM) of spatial streams in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., an access point (AP) station (STA) or non-AP STA) processes a stream of bits by: (a) encoding the stream of bits into a stream of coded bits; and (b) parsing the stream of coded bits into a plurality of streams of coded bits. The apparatus then transmits the plurality of streams of coded bits with UEQM in a plurality of spatial streams.
