In this paper, we consider designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded modulation systems to achieve unequal error protection (UEP). We propose a new UEP approach by partial superposition transmission called UEP-by-PST. In the…
Conventional communication systems are mainly designed to reduce error rates and increase transmission rates, and therefore usually provide uniform protection to all transmitted messages. However, in intent-oriented applications, different…
We study a form of unequal error protection that we term "unequal message protection" (UMP). The message set of a UMP code is a union of $m$ disjoint message classes. Each class has its own error protection requirement, with some classes…

For efficient modulation and error control coding, the deliberate flipping approach imposes the run-length-limited(RLL) constraint by bit error before recording. From the read side, a high coding rate limits the correcting capability of RLL…
