Abstract
Techniques for efficiently generating addresses for pruned interleavers and pruned de-interleavers are described. In an aspect, a linear address may be mapped to an interleaved address for a pruned interleaver by determining the total number of invalid mappings corresponding to the linear address. The linear address may be summed with the total number of invalid mappings to obtain an intermediate address. The interleaved address for the pruned interleaver may then be determined based on a non-pruned interleaver function of the intermediate address. The pruned interleaver may be a pruned bit-reversal interleaver, a pruned Turbo interleaver composed of a bit-reversal function and a linear congruential sequence function, or some other type of interleaver. The total number of invalid mappings may be determined iteratively, and each iteration may be performed in different manners for different types of pruned interleaver.
