TURBO-ENCODING WITH CONTENTION-FREE INTERLEAVERS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for turbo encoding are provided herein. During operation of the turbo encoder (101) the size of the turbo interleaver (201) is determined in dependence on the information block size and the appropriate interleaving parameters are selected. These parameters configure the turbo interleaver, which is a contention-free interleaver and which is based on either a quadratic permutation polynomial QPP interleaver or an almost regular permutation ARP interleaver. If the information block size does not match a supported interleaver size, then the information block is padded by means of filler bits insertion.
