In this paper, we propose to generalize the coding schemes first proposed by Kozic & al to high spectral efficient modulation schemes. We study at first Chaos Coded Modulation based on the use of small dimensional modulo-MAP encoding process and we give a solution to study the distance spectrum of such coding schemes to accurately predict their performances. However, the obtained performances are quite poor. To improve them, we use then a high dimensional modulo-MAP mapping process similar to the low-density generator-matrix codes (LDGM) introduced by Kozic & al. The main difference with their work is that we use an encoding and decoding process on GF (2m) which enables to obtain better performances while preserving a quite simple decoding algorithm when we use the Extended Min-Sum (EMS) algorithm of Declercq & Fossorier.
