Abstract:
An interleaver generates a valid interleaved data address for each iteration i of the mapping by the interleaver without employing a multiplication operation. The interleaver includes an address generator comprises two counters, bit-reverse and index tables, and an accumulation register array. The interleaver further comprises two adders, two registers storing tentative address values address and address , and select logic including a comparator, two buffers, and a multiplexer (mux). Two counters are employed to allow the interleaver to generate at least one valid address for each iteration, and a tentative address is generated from each output value of the two counters. Each iteration generates an output interleaved address. A tentative address is generated by using a portion of the counter value as an address to select a corresponding entry from each of the bit-reverse and index tables and the accumulation register array. The selected values from the index table and accumulation register array are combined in an adder.
