Shaping codes, also known as shaping techniques or shaping strategies, refer to methods used in coding theory, particularly in the context of communications and data transmission. These techniques are utilized to enhance the efficiency of transmitting information over a channel by adjusting the signal constellation or the way bits are mapped to signal points. The primary goal of shaping codes is to optimize the transmission rate while minimizing the impact of noise and errors introduced by the channel.
