Patent ID: 7987415

Claim:
A method of wireless uncompressed High Definition (HD) video communication, comprising the steps of: inputting uncompressed HD video information bits, wherein certain bits have a higher importance level than other bits; parsing the bits based on their importance levels; and applying unequal protection to bits at different importance levels using skewed constellation mapping by performing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) skewed constellation mapping, such that more important bits are provided with more protection for transmission error recovery, wherein applying unequal protection using skewed constellation mapping further includes performing quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) skewed constellation mapping to bits b 0 , b 1 , wherein: for bit b 1 , all of the received symbols in a decision region are decided as b 1 =0, and for bit b 0 , all of the received symbols in another decision regions are decided as b 0 =0, wherein as the distance between 0 and 1 for b 1 is larger than b 0 , the bit b 1 is more protected than bit b 0 .
