US Patent 7363552 Method and apparatus for convolutional interleaving/de-interleaving technique

The invention relates to the processor for performing convolution interleaving/de-interleaving on data symbols on plural original data symbols and convolution de-interleaving on the convolution interleaved data symbols. The processor for performing convolution interleaving on data symbol comprises a memory, an original address generator, and a storage address generator which generates an original address. The storage address generator generates the storage address of each of the stored plural data symbols in the memory according to the original address and a first predetermined sequence, and each of the convolution interleaved data symbols is stored in the memory according to the storage address; furthermore, all stored data symbols in the memory are configured into a circular structure.
