Abstract

An apparatus and method for efficiently distributing energy to a packet data channel. A turbo encoder generates a sequence of systematic symbols and a sequence of parity symbols by encoding an information bit stream. An interleaver interleaves the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence, separately and serially concatenates the interleaved systematic symbol sequence and the interleaved parity symbol sequence. An energy distributor rearranges the concatenated symbols so that the systematic symbols are disposed in a high energy-having portion of a predetermined transmission period when transmission energy varies for the transmission period. A modulator modulates the rearranged symbols.

Claims

1. An apparatus for receiving a sequence of systematic symbols and a sequence of parity symbols in a mobile communication system in which a turbo encoder generates the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence by encoding an information bit stream, and the parity symbol sequence precedes the systematic symbol sequence in transmission for a predetermined transmission period, the apparatus comprising:

a despreader for generating modulation symbols by despreading a signal received for the transmission period;

a demodulator for demodulating the modulation symbols and generating a sequence of code symbols;

a symbol rearranger for outputting systematic symbols disposed in a second part of the code symbol sequence and then outputting the remaining parity symbols disposed in a first part of the code symbol sequence; and

a decoder for generating an information bit stream by turbo-decoding the rearranged symbol sequence.

2. An apparatus for receiving a sequence of systematic symbols and a sequence of parity symbols in a mobile communication system in which a turbo encoder generates the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence by encoding an information bit stream, the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence are serially concatenated, and the serially concatenated are transmitted in a reverse order for a predetermined transmission period, the apparatus comprising:

a despreader for generating modulation symbols by despreading a signal received for the transmission period;

a demodulator for demodulating the modulation symbols and generating a sequence of code symbols;

a symbol rearranger for outputting the code symbol sequence in a reverse order; and

a decoder for generating an information bit stream by turbo-decoding the rearranged symbol sequence.

3. A method of receiving a sequence of systematic symbols and a sequence of parity symbols in a mobile communication system in which a turbo encoder generates the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence by encoding an information bit stream and the parity symbol sequence precede the systematic symbol sequence in transmission for a predetermined transmission period, the method comprising the steps of:

generating modulation symbols by despreading a signal received for the transmission period;

demodulating the modulation symbols and generating a sequence of code symbols;

outputting systematic symbols disposed in a second part of the code symbol sequence and then outputting the remaining parity symbols disposed in a first part of the code symbol sequence; and

generating an information bit stream by turbo-decoding the rearranged symbol sequence.

4. A method of receiving a sequence of systematic symbols and a sequence of parity symbols in a mobile communication system in which a turbo encoder generates the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence by encoding an information bit stream, the systematic symbol sequence and the parity symbol sequence are serially concatenated, and the serially concatenated are transmitted in a reverse order for a predetermined transmission period, the method comprising the steps of:

generating modulation symbols by despreading a signal received for the transmission period;

demodulating the modulation symbols and generating a sequence of code symbols;

outputting the code symbol sequence in a reverse order; and

generating an information bit stream by turbo-decoding the rearranged symbol sequence.
