A semiconductor device comprising processing logic. The processing logic is arranged to configure interleaver logic to re-order data symbols of a data stream according to a quadrature permutation polynomial function. The processing logic is further arranged to: divide a cyclic group of values defined by the QPP function into a set of subgroups, the set of subgroups being capable of being defined by a set of linear functions; derive inverse functions for the set of linear functions defining the subgroups; and configure the interleaver logic to load the data symbols of the data stream into a buffer at locations within the buffer corresponding to a cyclic group of values representative of the inverse function for the QPP function based on the inverse functions of the set of linear functions defining the subgroups.

Method and apparatus for interleaving a data stream using quadrature permutation polynomial functions (QPP)

A method for generating an interleaved output during a decoding of a data block, the method includes: (i) selecting, in response to a row indicator, a row register and a multiplication factor to provide a selected row register and a selected multiplication factor; wherein the selected multiplication factor is responsive to a size of the data block; (ii) multiplying a value stored in the selected row register by the selected multiplication factor to provide an intermediate result; (iii) performing a modulo P operation on the intermediate result to provide a permutated result; wherein the permutated result and the value stored in the selected row register are adjacent elements of the same permutation; wherein P is responsive to a size of the data block; (iv) writing the permutated result to the selected row register; and (v) outputting a data block element that is selected in response to the permutated result.
