Systems and methods for improving communication throughput
Communication terminals, systems and methods are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a method for improving communication throughput when experiencing periodic blockages includes reading a plurality of data elements into an interleaver in one of a quasi-reverse order and a consecutive order, reading the plurality of data elements out of the interleaver in the other of the quasi-reverse order and the consecutive order, and. transmitting the plurality of data elements via a communication channel that experiences periodic blockages.
1. A method for improving communication throughput when experiencing periodic blockages, the method comprising:
encoding a plurality of data elements with an outer encoder;
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of a plurality of rows of an interleaver in a quasi-reverse order;
encoding the plurality of data elements with an inner encoder;
decoding the plurality of data elements with an inner decoder;
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of a plurality of rows of a deinterleaver in a quasi-reverse order; and
decoding the plurality of data elements with an outer decoder.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises
reading the plurality of data elements into the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order, and
reading the plurality of data elements out of the interleaver in a consecutive order.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises
the first reading reads the plurality of data elements into the interleaver in a consecutive order, and
the second reading reads the plurality of data elements out of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into the plurality of rows of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order by alternating between rows in a first half of the plurality of rows and rows in a second half of the plurality of rows.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order by skipping at least one row when moving from a previous row to a next row.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the interleaver in the quasi-reverse order by alternating between writing to an earlier row and then writing to a later row.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into the plurality of rows of deinterleaver in the quasi-reverse order.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver in the quasi-reverse order.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver in the quasi-reverse order by alternating between rows in a first half of the plurality of rows and rows in a second half of the plurality of rows.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver in the quasi-reverse order by skipping at least one row when moving from a previous row to a next row.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein
reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver comprises reading the plurality of data elements into or out of the plurality of rows of the deinterleaver in the quasi-reverse order by alternating between writing to an earlier row and then writing to a later row.
