Abstract

Address generation for interleaving in a wireless communication system includes at least one input generation module to generate at least one input signal. A first address generator module and a second address generator module generate a first output address for interleaving and a second output address for interleaving. A selector module selects an address for interleaving from the first and the second output address based on predetermined criteria. At least one input translation module is receives an input signal and translate the received input signal to generate a nominal input signal based on a value of the received input signal. An address generation module generates an address for interleaving based on the nominal input signal.

Claims (30)

1. A system for generating an address for interleaving in a wireless communication system, said system comprising:

a first module that receives and translates an input signal to generate a nominal input signal based on a value of the received input signal, wherein said first module:

estimates a value of said nominal input signal as 159 when said value of said received input signal is 155;

estimates said value of said nominal input signal as 1023 when said value of said received input signal is 993; and

estimates said value of said nominal input signal for other values of said received input signal using: I n =I r +floor(I r /32), wherein I n comprises said value of said nominal input signal, I r comprises said value of said received input signal, and floor(x) comprises a standard mathematical function that generates a highest integer less than or equal to x;

a pair of second modules operatively coupled to said first module, wherein said pair of second modules receive said nominal input signal from said first module and generate a first and second output address for interleaving based on said nominal input signal; and

a third module operatively coupled to said pair of second modules, wherein said third module analyzes a value of the first and second output addresses for interleaving based on a predetermined criteria, and wherein said third module determines a validity of said first and second output addresses by analyzing a value of said first and second output addresses to determine invalid data in any of said first and second output addresses.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said input signal and said nominal input signal is of ten bits.

3. A method for generating an address for interleaving in a wireless communication system, said method comprising:

receiving an input signal;

translating an input signal to generate a nominal input signal based on a value of the received input signal;

estimating a value of said nominal input signal as 159 when said value of said received input signal is 155;

estimating said value of said nominal input signal as 1023 when said value of said received input signal is 993;

estimating said value of said nominal input signal for other values of said received input signal using: I n =I r +floor(I r /32), wherein I n comprises said value of said nominal input signal, I r comprises said value of said received input signal, and floor(x) comprises a standard mathematical function that generates a highest integer less than or equal to x;

receiving said nominal input signal from said first module;

generating a first and second output address for interleaving based on said nominal input signal;

analyzing a value of the first and second output addresses for interleaving based on a predetermined criteria; and

determining a validity of said first and second output addresses by analyzing a value of said first and second output addresses to determine invalid data in any of said first and second output addresses.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said input signal and said nominal input signal is of ten bits.

5. A non-transitory program storage device readable by computer and comprising a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform a method for generating an address for interleaving in a wireless communication system, said method comprising:

receiving an input signal;

translating an input signal to generate a nominal input signal based on a value of the received input signal;

estimating a value of said nominal input signal as 159 when said value of said received input signal is 155;

estimating said value of said nominal input signal as 1023 when said value of said received input signal is 993;

estimating said value of said nominal input signal for other values of said received input signal using: I n =I r +floor(I r /32), wherein I n comprises said value of said nominal input signal, I r comprises said value of said received input signal, and floor(x) comprises a standard mathematical function that generates a highest integer less than or equal to x;

receiving said nominal input signal from said first module;

generating a first and second output address for interleaving based on said nominal input signal;

analyzing a value of the first and second output addresses for interleaving based on a predetermined criteria; and

determining a validity of said first and second output addresses by analyzing a value of said first and second output addresses to determine invalid data in any of said first and second output addresses.

6. The program storage device of claim 5 , wherein said input signal and said nominal input signal is of ten bits.
