Method and apparatus for generating an interleaved address

Abstract

In the method of generating an interleaved address, each 2{circumflex over ( )}i mod (p−1) value for i=0 to x−1 is stored. Here, p is a prime number dependent on a block size K of a data block being processed and x is greater than one. An inter-row sequence number is multiplied with a column index number to obtain a binary product. Both the inter-row sequence number and the column index number are for the block size K and the prime number p. Then, each binary component of the binary product is multiplied with a respective one of the stored 2{circumflex over ( )}i mod (p−1) values to obtain a plurality of intermediate mod value. An intra-row permutation address is generated based on the plurality of intermediate mod values, and an interleaved address is generated based on the intra-row permutation address.
