Apparatus and method for interleaving channels in a mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method interleaving symbols coded by a turbo encoder in a communication system that uses the turbo encoder for encoding transmission information into coded systematic symbols and at least one parity symbol pair, and maps the coded symbols using a second or higher modulation order before transmission. An interleaver controller performs a control operation of cyclic-shifting the systematic symbols among the symbols coded by the turbo encoder depending on a size of a physical packet to be transmitted, the number of transmission slots, and the modulation order, using an equation of ( K × c + k ) mod R , and cyclic-shifting redundancy symbols constituting the remaining size of the coded symbols to be transmitted, using an equation of floor {( K × c + k )/ D }mod R . An interleaver cyclic-shifts input symbols under the control of the interleaver controller.
