Method and Apparatus for Quadrature Signal Modulation

A method for wireless communication using digital Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), the method comprising:

• translating between constellation symbols and bit sequences corresponding to the constellation symbols using a mapping module electronic component of a wireless communication device, in accordance with a 64-point constellation;
• wherein normalized magnitudes of the constellation symbols in a first quadrant of the 64-point constellation are defined by the following coordinate pairs to at least three decimal places of precision:
• 1.484430
• 0.355657
• 1.103689
• 0.241419
• 0.483043
