Abstract: When two different messages are transmitted at the same time in 5G or 6G, the message is “collided”. The resulting interference causes a message fault, necessitating a costly retransmission. Disclosed is a modulation scheme in which the modulation states are configured so that a message element can be collided by an intruder message, yet the receiver can still recover the original message element. In other cases, depending on the colliding states, the receiver can narrow the possible values of each faulted message element to just two or three possibilities, thereby greatly reducing the amount of time required for testing each combination against an error-detection code. Especially under high-noise conditions, the collision-proof modulation scheme may enable enhanced throughput by identifying and mitigating the faulted message element, and may thereby avoid unnecessary retransmissions.
