Abstract

In this paper we present a low complexity algorithm based on the bubble search sorting method that can be used to generate Turbo code interleavers that fulfill several criteria like spreading (s-randomness), code matched criteria and even the odd–even property for Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation. Simulation results show that for \(s < \sqrt{N/2}\) the algorithm is extremely efficient for short to medium interleaver lengths.
