Claim:
1. A method of signal processing for a physical downlink control channel of a device compatible with cellular communication, the method comprising: interleaving, utilizing a single Resource Element Group interleaver, an input signal representing a stream of bits of a modified Resource Element Group, wherein the single Resource Element Group interleaver interleaves the stream of bits of the modified Resource Element Group; modulating the input signal representing the stream of bits of the modified Resource Element Group; and layer-mapping and pre-coding, after both the interleaving step and the modulating step, the modulated and interleaved input signal into a plurality of different layers, wherein said interleaving is configured to operate on multiples of symbol bits each containing a sequence of two consecutive bits of the modified Resource Element Group.
