Method and system for hierarchical modulation and demodulation for digital radio

Abstract
A communication system (10) using hierarchical modulation includes at least one satellite (12 & 13) transmitting a data stream and a hierarchical modulated data stream, and at least one terrestrial station (16) transmitting the data stream and the hierarchical modulated data stream. The communication system can further include at least one receiver (1Cool for demodulating and combining the data stream from at least one satellite and from at least one terrestrial station and for hierarchically demodulating and combining the hierarchical modulated data stream from at least one satellite and the hierarchical modulated data stream from at least one terrestrial station. The terrestrial station can be a terrestrial repeater repeating the data stream and the hierarchical data stream from at least one satellite. The system can also include an uplink (11) having a hierarchical modulator for modulating both the data stream and the hierarchical data stream.
