Interleaving Coding: A Channel Transformation Technique for Error Control

Interleaving coding is a channel modification technique that transforms a burst-error prone memory channel into essentially an independent-error random memoryless channel through signal design. This method effectively combats burst interference in fading channels and is commonly combined with other channel codes for correcting memoryless independent errors to form concatenated codes. Widely applied in modern mobile communications, its implementation involves data rearrangement algorithms that disperse error clusters across multiple code words.
