Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for reliably transmitting data over wireless communication channels. The invented system comprises a transmitting device having an error control coding circuit and an interleaver circuit in communication with each other. The invented system also includes a receiving device having an error control decoding circuit and a de-interleaver circuit in communication with each other. The transmitting device and the receiving device communicate over a wireless communication channel . The error control coding circuit applies an error control code to the data before it is transmitted over the communication channel . The data is also interleaved prior to being transmitted. After transmission over the communication channel , the data is de-interleaved and any transmission errors are detected and corrected. The interleaving “spreads out” transmission errors over several data cells and thus makes the error control and correction process more effective and efficient.
