3.4.4.9 Time and Frequency Interleaving
e information transport, over the radio link, is susceptible to signal fading causing errors in the
transmission of information. To minimize this inherent susceptibility (nature of the radio link),
the information is reorganized over time and/or frequency, by rearranging the associated OFDM
symbols for transmission over the radio link. e rearrangement—interleaving process—spreads
the impact of signal fading induced errors over the radio link over noncontiguous segments of the
information stream. e receiver performs a reverse interleaving process to extract the intended
information strea ...
