Abstract :
Hierarchical modulation is used in conjunction with error correction coding in many multimedia communication systems to provide unequal protection. We show that hard decision upper bounds given for binary symmetric channels can be used to find upper bounds for the bit error rate of different bit classes of a coded M-ary hierarchical modulation.
