A method and apparatus for combining encoding and modulation creates signal sets from available amplitude and phase modulations by indexing ordered subspaces. The subspaces need not be limited to the class of subspaces known as binary subspaces. The resultant signal sets, for a preselected power and bandwidth are widely, separated and unlikely to be confused by the effects of channel noise.
