Abstract

In this paper we describe two methods of interleaving for use with generalized product block codes that can be decoded using a “turbo” decoding strategy. These methods are designed to avoid certain specific error patterns. One method has a number theoretic basis while the other uses finite projective planes. Simulation results are presented.
