Interleaving
Interleaving aims to distribute transmitted bits in time or frequency or both to achieve desirable bit error distribution after demodulation. What constitutes a desirable error distribution depends on the used FEC code. What kind of interleaving pattern is needed depends on the channel characteristics. If the system operates in a purely AWGN environment, no interleaving is needed, because the error distribution cannot be changed by relocating the bits. Communication channels are divided into fast and slow fading channels. A channel is fast fading if the impulse response changes approximately at the symbol rate of the communication system, whereas a slow fading channel stays unchanged for several symbols.
