Pattern Switching on Probabilistic Amplitude Shaping for achieving the highest SE in the whole SNR regions

We alternately transmit the 64-QAM signal between the main PAS pattern, and the specific length of the pattern with the uniform distribution. By computer simulations, we achieve good GMI which covers any SNR regions, and the cardinalities in a codebook are not increased.
