The interleaving process is frequent in coding schemes. It can be found directly in the code definition (for instance in Turbo or Turbo Product codes) or in larger schemes like for the turbo demodulation in the receiver (see the iterative chain in fig_bferi
).

Description of the allowed values:
Value | Description |
---|---|
NO |
Disable the interleaving process: the output is the input (fig_itl_no ). |
COL_ROW |
Fill the interleaver by column, read it by row (can be customized with the itl-itl-read-order parameter) (fig_itl_col_row ). |
ROW_COL |
Fill the interleaver by row, read it by column (can be customized with the itl-itl-read-order parameter) (fig_itl_row_col ). |
RANDOM |
Generate a random sequence for the entire frame (based on the Matsumoto1998 ) (fig_itl_random ). |
RAND_COL |
Generate multiple random sequences decomposed in independent columns (based on the Matsumoto1998 ) (fig_itl_rand_col ). |
GOLDEN |
Select the interleaver described in Crozier1999 . |
CCSDS |
Select the interleaver defined in the standard. |
LTE |
Select the interleaver defined in the standard. |
DVB-RCS1 |
Select the interleaver defined in the standard. |
DVB-RCS2 |
Select the interleaver defined in the standard. |
USER |
Select the interleaver sequence () from an external file (to use with the itl-itl-path parameter) (fig_itl_user ). |

An file is expected:
# the number of LUTs contained in the file (only one LUT here)
1
# the frame size 'N'
16
# the LUT definition (here the frame is reversed, 0 becomes 15, 1 becomes 14, etc.)
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
If there is more than one interleaved sequence then for each new frame a new is used in the natural order given by the file. Here is an example with two :
# the number of LUTs contained in this file
2
# the frame size 'N'
16
# first and second LUTs definition
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8
Note
When the number of simulated frames exceeds the number of contained in the files, the from the beginning of the file are reused and this is repeated until the end of the simulation.

- Examples
--itl-read-order BOTTOM_LEFT
The read starts from the given corner of the array to the diagonally opposite one. The read is made row by row for the COL_ROW
interleaver and column by column for the ROW_COL
one.
Description of the allowed values (see also the figures just bellow):
Value | Description |
---|---|
TOP_LEFT |
Read is down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. |
TOP_RIGHT |
Read is down from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. |
BOTTOM_LEFT |
Read is down from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. |
BOTTOM_RIGHT |
Read is down from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. |
fig_itl_col_row_order
depicts the read order options on the COL_ROW
interleaver.
fig_itl_row_col_order
depicts the read order options on the ROW_COL
interleaver.
By default, if this parameter is not used, the random interleavers generate the only once for the whole simulation.
Note
This parameter has no effect if the selected interleaver is not randomly generated.
