Abstract:
1. A method of generating at least one codeword for transmission in a telecommunication system, wherein the at least one codeword comprises codeword elements m 0 and m 1 , and the method comprising generating by a base station, the at least one codeword corresponding to at least one lattice point represented by the codeword elements m encoding by the base station, an information symbol X into the at least one codeword, wherein: X is an integer which lies within a range: and L is a predefined nonnegative integer indicating code alphabet size, and L is greater than 1; transmitting by the base station, the generated at least one codeword to a user equipment, wherein the at least one codeword being generated corresponds to the at least one lattice point from at least one lattice diagonal for which m wherein up to L(L−1)/2 codewords are to be generated; where 0≦m wherein the codeword elements m wherein ƒ(X) is an integer representing an offset from a lattice diagonal with m
