Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) interleaving

摘要

A communication device is configured to perform interleaving of a modulation symbol sequence to generate an OFDM symbol. Some modulation symbols within the modulation symbol sequence that are separated by an interleaver depth may be transmitted via adjacently located sub-carriers, while other modulation symbols within the modulation sequence that are separated by more than the interleaver depth may also be transmitted via adjacently located sub-carriers. First adjacently located sub-carriers transmit first and second modulation symbols that are separated by the interleaver depth within the modulation sequence while second adjacently located sub-carriers transmit third and fourth modulation symbol that are separated by more than the interleaver depth within the modulation sequence. A communication device may be configured to adapt and switch between different operational parameters used for interleaving and/or deinterleaving at different times based on any desired considerations.

1. A communication device comprising:
a communication interface; and a processor, the processor and the communication interface configured to:
receive a modulation symbol sequence that includes first, second, third, and fourth modulation symbols, wherein the first and second modulation symbols are separated by an interleaver depth within the modulation symbol sequence, and wherein the third and fourth modulation symbols are separated by more than the interleaver depth and less than twice the interleaver depth within the modulation symbol sequence; andinterleave the modulation symbol sequence to generate an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that includes the first modulation symbol within a first sub-carrier, the second modulation symbol within a second sub-carrier that is located adjacently to the first sub-carrier, the third modulation symbol within a third sub-carrier, and the fourth modulation symbol within a fourth sub-carrier that is located adjacently to the third sub-carrier; andtransmit the OFDM symbol.
