According to one aspect of the invention, a method of interleaving data
for enabling data coding in a communication network is disclosed, the
method including storing parameters required to output address sequences
for a matrix, receiving a block size associated with a block of data at a
circuit for interleaving data, outputting parameters associated with the
stored parameters based upon the block size, and producing an address
sequence using the parameters. A circuit for interleaving data for data
coding in a communication network is also disclosed. The circuit includes
a lookup table storing parameters required to output address sequences
for a matrix. A search coupled to the lookup table receives a clock size
associated with a matrix and outputs parameters based upon the block
size. A computation circuit coupled to receive the parameters outputs an
address sequence using the parameters.
