According to one embodiment, memory is allocated between an interleaver buffer and a de-interleaver buffer in a communication device based on downstream and upstream memory requirements. The upstream de-interleaver memory requirement is determined based on upstream channel conditions obtained for a communication channel used by the communication device. The memory is allocated between the interleaver and de-interleaver buffers based on the downstream and upstream memory requirements. The downstream interleaver memory requirement may be determined based on one or more predetermined downstream configuration parameters. Alternatively, the downstream interleaver memory requirement may also be determined based on the upstream channel conditions by estimating the downstream capacity of the communication channel based on the upstream channel conditions and determining an interleaver buffer size that satisfies one or more predetermined downstream configuration parameters and the downstream capacity estimate. |
