Abstract
Multidimensional multilevel block-coded modulation employing quadrature amplitude modulated constellations are considered. An approximation to their error performance is described and compared to simulation results, which show it to be a very good estimate at moderate to high signal-to-noise ratio. The effect of parallel transitions is considered and the tradeoff between distance and the error coefficient is explored.
