Abstract:
1. A method of interleaving a plurality of sub-streams into a high-speed data signal, the method comprising a step of interleaving successive blocks of data from each sub-stream into the high-speed data signal using a predetermined interleaving pattern that is different for two consecutive sequences of N (an integer >2) blocks of data within the high-speed data signal, and at least one of the data blocks in each of the consecutive sequences originates from the same sub-stream, wherein the step of interleaving successive blocks of data from each sub-stream into the high-speed data signal comprises steps of: inverse-multiplexing each one of the sub-streams across N channels; sorting blocks within each channel in accordance with a predetermined channel sort order; and interleaving successive blocks from cach of the channels into the high speed data signal.
