Solution Overview

Problem

Existing deinterleaving systems face performance degradation and increased complexity in implementation due to high switching and routing requirements, particularly when processing data for low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoders, which can lead to inefficient use of resources and reduced error correction capabilities.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves optimizing the deinterleaving process by dividing data into specific blocks based on a minimum switching unit, aligning bits accordingly, and using a deinterleaver apparatus with buffers and a decoder to reduce switching and routing, thereby improving data processing efficiency and aligning with the input data unit of the LDPC decoder.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional deinterleaving is applied to distribute burst errors, then error correction capability is improved, but switching and routing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction capabilityVSAvoidswitching and routing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the deinterleaving process into multiple stages: first dividing data into first data blocks, then into second data blocks, and finally into third data blocks. This segmentation allows error distribution without requiring complex global switching, as each segment processes a subset of data independently, reducing overall switching complexity while maintaining error correction capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the deinterleaving operation from a traditional bit-level switching approach to a block-level dimensional transformation. By operating on data blocks rather than individual bits, and by using matrix transposition operations, the patent achieves error distribution through dimensional reorganization rather than complex routing, thereby reducing switching complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If data is divided into fine-grained blocks for deinterleaving, then error distribution is improved, but processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror distributionVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a hierarchical segmentation strategy where data is first divided into first data blocks, then each first data block is divided into second data blocks, and finally each second data block into third data blocks. This multi-level segmentation achieves fine-grained error distribution while maintaining processing efficiency by organizing operations at multiple scales rather than requiring all operations at the finest granularity simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary organization of data into structured blocks before the actual deinterleaving operation. By pre-organizing data into first, second, and third data blocks with specific structures, the subsequent deinterleaving operations can proceed more efficiently with simpler routing logic, reducing processing overhead despite the fine-grained nature of the operations.

Inventive Principle:

3Manufacturing precision

If complex switching is used to restore original bit sequence, then deinterleaving accuracy is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeinterleaving accuracyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the deinterleaving process into sequential stages operating on different data block granularities. Each stage restores a portion of the original sequence structure, achieving cumulative accuracy without requiring a single complex switching operation. This segmented approach reduces resource consumption by distributing the restoration task across multiple simpler stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves deinterleaving accuracy through dimensional transformation of data blocks rather than through complex bit-level switching. By using matrix operations and block transpositions, the patent restores the original sequence structure with simpler, more resource-efficient operations that operate on higher-dimensional data structures rather than individual bits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
