Abstract

An apparatus comprising a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate an output signal in response to a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal. The second intermediate signal comprises a series of bit pairs. The second circuit comprises a first and a second encoder and may be configured to generate the second intermediate signal in response to a third intermediate signal. The third circuit may be configured to generate the first intermediate signal and the third intermediate signal in response to a first address signal and a second address signal. The third circuit comprises a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a first circuit configured to generate an output signal in response to a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal, wherein said second intermediate signal comprises a series of bit pairs;

a second circuit (i) comprising a first and a second encoder and (ii) configured to generate said second intermediate signal in response to a third intermediate signal; and

a third circuit configured to generate said first intermediate signal and said third intermediate signal in response to a first address signal and a second address signal, wherein said third circuit comprises a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said first and said second encoder are configured in parallel.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said apparatus further comprises:

a first address generation circuit configured to generate said first address signal.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said apparatus further comprises:

a second address generation circuit configured to generate said second address signal.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said first address generation circuit comprises a turbo interleaving address generator.

6. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said first address generation circuit comprises a subpacket interleaving and interlacing address generator.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a control circuit configured provide control signals to said first address generation circuit and said second address generation circuit.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said first circuit further comprises a first buffer and a second buffer.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said third circuit further comprises a plurality of memory storage elements.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein each of said plurality of memory storage elements receive an address signal from either said first address generation circuit or said second address generation circuit, wherein said address is selected using a multiplexer.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein multiplexer is controlled by a signal from a control circuit.

12. An apparatus comprising:

means for generating an output signal in response to a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal, wherein said second intermediate signal comprises a series of bit pairs;

means for generating said second intermediate signal in response to a third intermediate signal using a first and a second encoder; and

means for generating said first intermediate signal and said third intermediate signal in response to a first address signal and a second address signal using a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer.

13. A method transmitting data comprising the steps of:

(A) generating an output signal in response to a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal, wherein said second intermediate signal comprises a series of bit pairs;

(B) generating said second intermediate signal in response to a third intermediate signal using a first and a second encoder; and

(C) generating said first intermediate signal and said third intermediate signal in response to a first address signal and a second address signal using a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein said first and said second encoder are configured in parallel.

15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein said method further comprises the steps of:

generating said first address signal with a first address generating circuit.

16. The method according to claim 13 , wherein said method further comprises:

generating said second address signal with a second address generation circuit.
