Method for efficient interleaving of variable length packets with maximized block size

Abstract

A method for efficient interleaving of variable-length packets is provided. In packet networks, block interleaving of variable-length packets can be inefficient when the interleaver block size is fixed and smaller than the packet size. For certain packet lengths, the remaining number of elements for the last block (i.e., bytes or symbols) can be very low. The present invention provides a way to calculate the optimal interleaver block sizes for a preselected packet length and a preselected interleaver width.
