Abstract: The present application discloses a number of inventions directed to method(s), apparatus and/or networks and systems adapted to track time varying channels, adapted to synchronise packets arriving at a receiver, adapted to correlate a received signal, adapted to manage digital resources, adapted to receive a signal and/or adapted to enable communication in a wireless packet based communications network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating and performing digital communications using a randomized generatable interleaver. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a pseudo random interleaver of size n*m with excellent randomness and spread properties may be generated from a set of seed values. The interleaver of size N=n*m is defined by dividing the N possible address in the interleaver (0-N?1) into n subsets. The subsets are preferably generatable from a single value within the subset either using an algorithm or a memory based lookup table. The set of n seeds comprises one value selected from each subset. An improved communication system incorporating the aforementioned interleaver and using turbo codes or other concatenated coding systems is also disclosed.
