Abstract:
1. A transmitter for transmitting information, comprising: a mapper for generating a plurality of mapped symbols, each mapped symbol comprising a first component and a second component, one of the first and second components being an in-phase component and the other of the first and second components being a quadrature component from a codeword; and a component interleaver for generating a plurality of interleaving units to be transmitted in a time sequence, the plurality of interleaving units comprising at least three different interleaving units, wherein each of the plurality of interleaving units comprises a plurality of pairs of first and second components, the plurality of pairs being two or more, wherein the component interleaver is configured for assigning all first components and all second components of a codeword to the plurality of interleaving units in accordance with an interleaving rule, so that an I component of a mapped symbol and the Q component of the same mapped symbol are never assigned to one and the same interleaving unit, but to two different interleaving units.
