A convolutional interleaver includes an interleaver memory partitioned into a plurality of circular buffers, wherein each of the circular buffers has associated write pointers and read pointers, and wherein the interleaver is configured to selectively read symbols from an input vector and store the input symbols in the interleaver memory in accordance with the write pointers, and to selectively read symbols from the interleaver memory to form an output vector in accordance with the read pointers. In one aspect, symbols are written to the interleaver prior to reading; in another, the position of the write pointer corresponds to the position of the read pointer within the circular buffer, and symbols are read from said interleaver memory prior to writing. In another aspect, a de-interleaver applies the concepts and algorithms described above in an inverse manner.
