Abstract

An interleaver is a hardware device commonly used in
conjunction with error correcting codes to counteract the effect of
burst errors. Interleavers are in widespread use and much is known
about them from an engineering standpoint.


In this paper we propose a mathematical model that provides a rigorous
foundation for the theoretical study of interleavers. The model
captures precisely such notions as block and convolutional
interleavers, spread, periodicity, causality, latency, and memory
usage.

Using this model, we derive several optimality results on the latency
and memory usage of interleavers. We describe a family of block interleavers
and show that they are optimal with respect to latency among all block
interleavers with a given spread. We also give tight upper and lower
bounds on the memory requirements of interleavers.
