1Reliability

If conventional symbol, tone, and cyclic interleaving techniques are used, then data transmission reliability is improved, but additional memories are required and processing speed is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidmemory requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cyclic interleaving function from separate memory structures and integrates it into the existing symbol interleaver architecture. By reusing the same memory resources for both symbol and cyclic interleaving operations through mathematical address mapping, the need for additional dedicated memory is eliminated while maintaining the reliability benefits of cyclic interleaving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the memory structure universal by enabling it to perform both symbol interleaving and cyclic interleaving functions. Through the use of mathematical address calculation formulas that incorporate both symbol interleaving parameters (N, M) and cyclic interleaving parameters (Q), the same memory can execute multiple interleaving operations without requiring separate dedicated memory structures for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

If conventional symbol, tone, and cyclic interleving techniques are used, then data transmission reliability is improved, but processing speed is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cyclic interleaving operation from a separate processing stage and integrates it into the symbol interleaving process. By combining both operations into a single unified memory access sequence with mathematically derived address patterns, the processing pipeline is streamlined and unnecessary sequential processing steps are eliminated, thereby improving processing speed while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges symbol interleaving and cyclic interleaving into a single unified operation. Through the integration of both interleaving functions within one memory access sequence using combined address mapping formulas, the processing overhead of separate operations is eliminated, resulting in improved processing speed while preserving the error distribution benefits of both interleaving techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If additional memories are allocated for cyclic interleving, then data transmission integrity is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission integrityVSAvoidmemory structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cyclic interleaving function from separate memory allocations and reimplements it through software-based address mapping. By using mathematical formulas to calculate read addresses that incorporate cyclic interleaving patterns, the need for additional physical memory structures is removed, reducing device complexity and cost while maintaining data transmission integrity through the same interleaving effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/physical approach of allocating separate memory structures for cyclic interleaving with a computational/software-based approach. By using address calculation algorithms that mathematically implement cyclic interleaving patterns on existing memory, the physical complexity of the memory system is reduced while the logical function of cyclic interleaving is preserved, thereby maintaining integrity without increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
