Interleaver decorrelation in data transmitting and receiving devices

摘要

A data transmitting device for transmitting data on a channel within a CDMA system may simultaneously convey data with a plurality of other data transmitting devices on one channel. The data transmitting device includes an interleaver that receives an interleaver pattern parameter, generates a respective interleaver pattern in accordance with the received parameter, and interleaves a source data stream using the generated interleaver pattern to produce an interleaved data stream. The generated interleaver pattern has interleaver characteristics that differ from the interleaver characteristics of at least one other data transmitting device that simultaneously transmits data on the channel.
