Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for channel interleaver and layer mapping in a communications system with spatial multiplexing are provided. A method for transmitting information over M layers, where M is a positive integer value representing a number of spatial layers, and M≧2, includes receiving at least one codeword to transmit, grouping a plurality of symbols in the at least one codeword into M groups, mapping the M groups to the M layers, and transmitting the M layers. The at least one codeword includes the plurality of symbols, and each symbol includes two or more code bits.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting information over M layers, where M is a positive integer value representing a number of spatial layers, and M≧2, the method comprising: receiving at least two codewords to transmit, wherein the at least two codewords each comprises a plurality of symbols, each symbol composed of two or more code bits; grouping the plurality of symbols in the at least two codewords into M groups using an interleaver comprising M same-level sub-inte…
