BUTTERFLY NETWORK FOR PERMUTATION OR DE-PERMUTATION UTILIZED BY CHANNEL ALGORITHM

摘要

A butterfly network for channel coding permutation and de-permutation. The butterfly network may include a first side and a second side, wherein each of the first side and second side has at least one terminal and two or more columns of nodes located between the first and second sides, wherein a first column of the columns may interface the first side, a second column of the columns may interface the second side and each of the columns comprises at least one node, wherein each node of the columns may be connected to a first number of nodes in each of adjacent columns next to the columns, and said first number may be identical for all the nodes in the network, and wherein the nodes which may be selected as switches are concurrently controlled to perform switching operations.
