Irregular VRB-to-PRB Interleaving for Higher Frequency Diversity

The patent applies asymmetry by transitioning from a regular, symmetric interleaving matrix structure to an irregular matrix structure. The irregular interleaving matrix is constructed by concatenating a regular matrix with a vector, creating an asymmetric structure that can accommodate VRB bundles of varying sizes. This asymmetric structure ensures all VRB bundles are interleaved regardless of their fit within traditional matrix dimensions, thereby improving frequency diversity while managing complexity through a systematic construction approach.

The patent applies dynamics by making the interleaving matrix adaptable and flexible rather than fixed. The irregular interleaving matrix can dynamically adjust its structure through the concatenation of a regular matrix and a vector, allowing it to accommodate varying numbers and sizes of VRB bundles. This dynamic structure ensures all VRB bundles are included in the interleaving process, improving transmission reliability while maintaining mapping efficiency through a systematic and adaptable approach.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the irregular interleaving matrix into two distinct segments: a regular matrix portion and a vector portion. The regular matrix provides the structured, efficient interleaving foundation, while the vector extends the matrix to accommodate additional VRB bundles. This segmentation allows the system to achieve maximum frequency diversity by including all VRB bundles in interleaving, while managing implementation complexity through the clear separation and systematic construction of matrix and vector components.
