APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR INTERLEAVING IN A FORWARD LINK ONLY SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and devices for encoding and interleaving data packets for broadcast and for de-interleaving and decoding data packets in a communication system eliminate detrimental biasing effects by using pseudo-random M-sequence bit encoding as part of the turbo encoding and decoding. The use of pseudo-random M-sequence bit encoding mitigates biasing effects that may otherwise be introduced if conventional r-c interleaving is applied to long turbo encoded data which would degrade reception in the presence of broadcast interference.
