Abstract:

      A method based on linear congruential generator (LCG) is used to construct random interleavers for interleave-division multiple-access (IDMA). One interleaver, called the mother interleaver, is first generated and then cyclically shifted to obtain the other interleavers, each belonging to one user. We propose to choose the LCG parameters such that its maximum period is reached and, for convenience, the LCG modulus is a power of 2. With these settings, the modulus should be strictly greater than the interleaver size. A mathematical proof is provided for this matter. Out-of-bound random numbers are simply discarded. Finally, peak basis correlation and bit-error rate analysis are used to show correctness of the theoretical expectations.
