Quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) interleaver providing hardware saving and flexible granularity adaptable to any possible turbo code block size. A means is presented by which only a very small number of coefficients need be stored to effectuate a wide variety of QPP interleaves as can be employed in the context of turbo coding. In one instance, to accommodate the approximate 6000 different turbo code block sizes in 3GPP LTE channel coding, only 5 different coefficient values need to be stored to effectuate a very broad range of QPP interleaves to be applied each of those various turbo code block sizes. Moreover, a few small number of dummy bits, if any, need to be employed to accommodate a very broad range of turbo code block sizes. It is noted that the QPP interleaving as described herein can be applied to turbo encoding and turbo decoding (e.g., including both interleaving and de-interleaving).
