With increasing data rates in wireless communication, quality of service (QoS) has become a major issue. This is more with fading channels transmitting huge volumes of data. QoS is degraded by intersymbol interference (ISI) and related errors. One of the simplest and convenient techniques to overcome such errors is interleaving, which is used efficiently in wireless applications. It has found applications for combating burst errors that creeps up in the channel during transmission. In this paper, an efficient model of a block interleaver using a hardware description language (Verilog) is proposed. The proposed technique reduces consumption of FPGA resources to a large extent, which implies low power consumption.
