| 1. A method of encoding, comprising:
performing a first outer encoding on a first portion of an input sequence of bits to produce first outer encoded bits;
performing a second outer encoding on a second portion of the input sequence of bits to produce second outer encoded bits;
bit interleaving said first outer encoded bits to produce first interleaved encoded bits;
bit interleaving said second outer encoded bits to produce second interleaved encoded bits;
performing a modified FQPSK modulation on said first interleaved encoded bits and said second interleaved encoded bits to
produce I and Q waveform sequences, wherein said performing the modified FQPSK modulation realizes a modulation with memory,
wherein said performing the modified FQPSK modulation includes:
performing an I-channel recursive encoding on the first interleaved encoded bits to generate I encoder outputs;
performing a Q-channel recursive encoding on the second interleaved encoded bits to generate Q encoder outputs;
performing a signal mapping on the I encoder outputs and the Q encoder outputs to generate said I and Q waveform sequences;
wherein said I and Q waveform sequences are continuous in time.
