Abstract

A parallel algorithm and architecture for pruned bit-reversal interleaving (PBRI) are proposed. For a pruned interleaver of size N with mother interleaver size M = 2n ≥ N, the proposed algorithm interleaves any number x ∈ [0, N-1] in at most n-1 steps, as opposed to x steps using existing PBRI algorithms. A parallel architecture of the proposed algorithm employing simple logic gates and having a short critical path delay is presented. The proposed architecture is valuable in reducing (de-)interleaving latency in emerging wireless standards that employ PBRI channel (de-)interleaving in their PHY layer such as the 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband standard.
