Abstract

Systems and Methods for controlling an interleaver are disclosed. Generally, a first and second signal are received, wherein the first and second signals are selected from the group consisting of a signal to noise ration signal, a data rate signal, and a bit error rate signal. An interleaver control signal is then generated based on the first and second signals.

Claims (38)

1. A controller for an interleaver, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

receiving a first signal;

receiving a second signal; and

generating an interleaver control signal based on the first and second signals,

wherein the first signal comprises a signal to noise ratio signal, and

wherein the second signal is selected from a group consisting of a data rate signal and a bit error rate signal.

2. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the first signal exceeds a threshold.

3. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the first signal exceeds a value.

4. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the second signal exceeds a threshold.

5. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the second signal exceeds a value.

6. The controller of claim 1 , further comprising an interleaver coupled with the processor, the interleaver being operative to receive the control signal.

7. The controller of claim 6 , wherein the interleaver is operative to alter an interleaved signal in response to the interleaver control signal.

8. The controller of claim 6 , wherein the interleaver is operative to alter an interleave depth of an interleaved signal in response to the interleaver control signal.

9. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the first and second signals are distinct signals.

10. A method for controlling an interleaver, the method comprising:

receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a first signal;

receiving, by the system, a second signal; and

generating, by the system, an interleaver control signal based on the first and second signals,

wherein the first signal comprises a signal to noise ratio signal, and

wherein the second signal is selected from a group consisting of a data rate signal and a bit error rate signal.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the first signal exceeds a threshold.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the first signal exceeds a value.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the second signal exceeds a threshold.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the second signal exceeds a value.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

transmitting the interleaver control signal to an interleaver.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

altering an interleaved signal in response to the interleaver control signal.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

altering an interleave depth of an interleaved signal in response to the interleaver control signal.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first and second signal is a signal to noise ratio signal.

19. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second signal is a data rate signal or a bit error rate signal.
