Patent attributes
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a mobile station may obtain a multi-level coding (MLC) configuration to be applied to a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation set comprising a plurality of constellation symbols and having a non-linearity that is based at least in part on a phase noise or a power amplification associated with the plurality of constellation symbols. The mobile station may process the QAM constellation set, using MLC set partitioning in accordance with the MLC configuration, based at least in part on the phase noise or the power amplification associated with the plurality of constellation symbols of the QAM constellation set. Numerous other aspects are described.
