Programmable circuit for high speed computation of the interleaver tables for multiple wireless standards

A method for computing a plurality of tables for multiple wireless communication standards, comprising the steps of:

• (A) receiving a control signal at a circuit, wherein said control signal identifies a current one of said wireless communication standards and a code word size;
• (B) generating a plurality of tables corresponding to both said current wireless communication standard and said code word size, wherein (i) each of said tables has a plurality of indices, (ii) up to two of said indices are generated per clock cycle and (iii) each of said tables comprises a permutation table of a turbo code interleaver;
• and
• (C) storing said tables in a memory.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receive a control signal, wherein said control signal identifies a current one of a plurality of wireless communication standards and a code word size;
• means for generating a plurality of tables corresponding to both said current wireless communication standard and said code word size, wherein (i) each of said tables has a plurality of indices, (ii) up to two of said indices are generated per clock cycle and (iii) each of said tables comprises a permutation table of a turbo code interleaver;
• and
• means for storing said tables.
