<p>A data processor maps data symbols received from a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol into an output symbol stream. The data processing apparatus comprises a interleaver arranged to read-into an interleaver memory the predetermined number of data symbols from the OFDM sub-carrier signals, and to read-out of the interleaver memory the data symbols into the output symbol stream to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are de-interleaved from the OFDM sub-carrier signals. An address generator is arranged to generate the set of addresses, an address being generated for each of the received data symbols to indicate the OFDM sub-carrier signal from which the received data symbol is to be mapped into the output symbol stream. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit. A generator polynomial for the linear feedback shift register is R i ¹ 8 = R i - 1 ¹ 0 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 4 , and a permutation code is provided for permuting the order of the content of the register stages. The permutation code has been established by simulation analysis to optimise communication performance via typical radio channels. As such, a 1K operating is provided with an interleaver, which can interleave data symbols onto approximately one thousand sub-carriers of OFDM symbols for an OFDM modulated system such as a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard such as DVB-Terrestria12 (DVB-T2) or DVB-Cable2 (DVB-C2).</p> |
