GMI-maximizing constellation design with Grassmann projection for parametric shaping

We introduce a new geometric shaping to optimize signal constellations maximizing generalized mutual information for both binary and nonbinary coding. With parametric projection of hyper cubes, we can perform seamless constellation shaping with near 1 dB gain.
