Communications channel parallel interleaver and de-interleaver

An apparatus for interleaving data packets comprising:

• a demultiplexer for demultiplexing encoded bits of a data packet into a plurality of demultiplexed sequences;
• a splitter configured to split at least one of the plurality of demultiplexed sequences into at least two demultiplexed sequences that are input to the pruned bit reversal interleaver;
• a pruned bit reversal interleaver for generating bit-permutated sequences from the demultiplexed sequences;
• and
• a multiplexer for multiplexing the bit-permutated sequences to generate interleaved data packets.

An apparatus for interleaving data packets comprising:

• means for demultiplexing encoded bits of a data packet into a plurality of demultiplexed sequences;
• means for splitting at least one of the plurality of demultiplexed sequences into at least two demultiplexed sequences prior to applying the pruned bit reversal interleaver function to the demultiplexed sequences;
• means for bit reversal interleaving for generating bit-permutated sequences from the demultiplexed sequences;
• and
• means for multiplexing the bit-permutated sequences to generate interleaved data packets.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause an interleaver in a wireless communication system to:

• demultiplex encoded bits of a data packet into a plurality of demultiplexed sequences;
• split at least one of the plurality of demultiplexed sequences into at least two demultiplexed sequences prior to applying the pruned bit reversal interleaver function to the demultiplexed sequences;
• apply a pruned bit reversal interleaver function to the demultiplexed sequences to generate bit-permutated sequences;
• and
• multiplex the bit-permutated sequences to generate interleaved data packets.
