Random Interleaver

Random Interleaver: The Random Interleaver rearranges the elements of its input vector using a random permutation. The incoming data is rearranged using a series of generated permuter indices. A permuter is essentially a device that generates pseudo-random permutation of given memory addresses. The data is arranged according to the pseudo-random order of memory addresses. The … Read more

Block Interleaver Design for RS codes

Introduction: A Reed Solomon (RS) encoder, takes user data symbols and converts it into a n symbol wide codeword, by adding parity symbols. The error correcting capability of the RS code is computed as . That is, a RS code with parity symbols can correct a burst error of upto symbol errors. Block Interleavers: Suppose, … Read more

Interleavers and deinterleavers

Interleavers and Deinterleavers are designed and used in the context of characteristics of the errors that might occur when the message bits are transmitted through a noisy channel. To understand the functions of an interleaver/deinterleaver, understanding of error characteristics is essential. Two types are errors concern communication system design engineer. They are burst error and … Read more
